Indian archers defeatChina to win recurve team bronze

MEDELLIN: Indian archers defeated China to win a third bronze medal at the ongoing World Cup Stage 3 in Medellin, Colombia, on Thursday. The fourth seeded Indian trio of Tushar Shelke, Mrinal Chauhan and Dhiraj Bommadevara prevailed over China's Yang Keyang Li Mengqui and Wang Yan 5-3 (58-54, 55-56, 54-53, 56-56) to seal the bronze medal in the men's recurve team event.

The recurve women's team of Bhajan Kaur, Sangeeta and Tanisha, who got a seventh seeding, made a second round exit, going down to their rivals from France 3-5 (52-51, 53-54, 49-55, 52-52).

India had opened their account with a bronze medal each in men's and women's team compound events.

Earlier on Wednesday, teenage archer Bhajan grabbed a top-10 finish in the recurve women's qualification round to brighten up an otherwise lacklustre show. Agencies
