In the final against the Mexican trio of Dafne Quintero, Ana Sofia Hernandez Jeon, and Andrea Becerra, the Indian came up with their A-Game, and after a pulsating contest, stood tall in the end with a score of 235-229.

Although the conditions were tougher in Berlin, the Indian archers held their nerves and came on top. In the semis against the Colombian Team led by Sara Lopez, who also possessed a challenge to the Indians, the trio beat them in a close match with a score reading 220-216.

Earlier, during the knockouts (in pre-quarters and quarters against Turkey and Chinese Taipei, respectively), the Indian team fought hard for the win. With Paris Games about to begin in less than one year, India’s winning run in this discipline will raise medal expectations at 2024 Olympics.

Also, with this first-ever gold medal win in the World Archery Championship, the medal tally increased to 12 (including nine silvers and two bronze medals earlier).&nbsp;

Jyothi Surekha Vennam of the three also unlocked a unique milestone for herself with this gold medal crown. She now has seven medals to her name in this competition (including four bronze and two silver earlier), and with this now completed a Grand Slam of medals in the World Archery Championship.

In the Men’s category, the Indian trio of Abhishek Verma, Ojas Deotale, and Prathamesh Jawkar got knocked out in the Quarters after a 230-235 loss at the hands of the Netherlands.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, in the recurve category, both Men’s and Women’s teams lost their quarterfinal matches against South Korea (1-5) and the Dutch (2-6), respectively.

PM Narendra Modi lauds Indian Women's Compound team for historic gold medal at World Archery Championship

India's Jyothi Surekha Vennam clinched gold in the women`s compound final at the Asian Archery Championships 2021 on Thursday in Dhaka.

In a nerve-wracking final the Indian defeated top seed and former world champion Oh Yoohyun by 146-145. This is Jyothi's second Asian championship (individual) gold.

The 25-year-old Indian enjoyed a perfect start to the final shooting 30 with the first set of three arrows, compared to the Korean's 29. However, a wobble in the second set with a score of 28 meant that Oh Yoohyun equalised at 58-58.

Jyothi came back strongly in the third set as she shot a perfect 30 again, while Yoohyun replied with 28 and handed a two-point lead. Both archers didn't take their step from the pedal in the fourth set as they shot the perfect 30s and the Indian maintained a two-point lead.

Though Jyothi wasn't able to hold her nerve in the final set with two 9s, a controversial final arrow from Oh Yoohyun handed India their first gold medal of this edition of the Asian Archery Championships.
