Jyothi shines as India win silver and bronze
Hindustan Times Rajasthan
|July 13, 2025
Jyothi Surekha Vennam stayed on course for a hat-trick of medals as India secured two podium finishes at the Archery World Cup Stage 4 here on Saturday with the women’s compound team settling for silver and the mixed team clinching bronze.
Notwithstanding the medal-winning show, the performance exposed Indian archers' struggles under pressure in crunch situations.
The trio of Jyothi, Parneet Kaur and 16-year-old debutant Prithika Pradeep, who had topped the qualification round with a total of 2116 points, looked well on course for gold and justify their top-billing when they led 170-169 after the third end.
However, they faltered under pressure at the decisive moment, eventually going down 225-227 to Chinese Taipei.
Later, in the mixed team event, the top-seeded Indian pair of Jyothi and Rishabh Yadav, who had shattered the qualifying world record with a total of 1431 points on the opening day, outwitted 10th-seeded El Salvador duo of Paola Corado and Douglas Vladimir Nolasco 156-153 to claim bronze.
The Indian pair had fallen short of expectations in the semifinals on Friday, losing to 12th-seeded Netherlands duo of Mike Schloesser and Sanne de Laat 152-155.
