India bag five medals in compound section; Madhura shines with maiden World Cup gold
Capping a dream comeback, Madhura Dhamangaonkar clinched her maiden individual World Cup gold to headline India's glittering medal collection in the compound section -- two gold, one silver and two bronze at the Archery Stage 2 showpiece here Saturday.
Unranked for being in the sidelines for three years, Madhura produced a sensational upturn in the final, edging out USA's Carson Krahe 139-138 to seal the top podium.
The 24-year-old from Amravati, Maharashtra, had earlier bagged a team silver and a mixed team bronze, completing a fine three-medal haul. However, Madhura's individual final was a roller-coaster affair.
