Asian Games 2026: Superb India secure a Mixed Team gold and a place at LA 2028

At the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, the Indian compound archery pair of Sahil Jadhav and Chikitha Taniparthi captured the mixed team gold medal by defeating South Korean opponents Park Jungyoon and Choi Yonghee in a tense shoot-off following a 157-157 tie. This victory not only claimed the top finish in Japan but also clinched an early qualification quota for the upcoming Los Angeles Olympic Games in 2028, where the compound mixed team discipline will make its Olympic debut.

Chief compound coach Dave Cousins watched the dramatic conclusion unfold as the Indian duo held their nerve against a Korean team that had earlier set a world-record score in the elimination rounds.
