Indian archers ended their campaign with a silver and bronze medal, both coming from compound section, at stage four of the Archery World Cup here yesterday. Indian women's compound team once again failed to cross the final hurdle, this time by a heartbreaking one point, to settle for a silver medal earlier in the day. Eyeing a maiden gold at the World Cup circuit, Jyothi Surekha Vennam, Muskan Kirar and Trisha Deb had a promising 59-57 lead but only to slip in the third end as the French trio snatched the lead before clinching it 229-228.
Jyothi later added a bronze in the compound mixed pair event with Abhishek Verma defeating the Turkish duo of Yesim Bostan and Demir Elmaagacli 156-153. Jyothi and Verma thus won a medal in the mixed team event at each of the four World Cup stages in Shanghai, Antalya, Salt Lake and Berlin World Cups. In the compound team final, five consecutive perfect 10s by Sophie Dodemont, Amelie Sancenot and Sandra Herve helped them level the scores 116-all in the second end.
