Asian Games: Young Indian archers hit the mark, make a statement

India delivered a standout performance in archery at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, securing five gold, two silver, and two bronze medals to lead the nation's medal-producing disciplines. Young debutants played a crucial role in this success, with teenagers like seventeen-year-old Kumkum Mohod claiming individual gold and helping elevate the recurve squad's overall standing.

National coach Jiwanjot Singh Teja praised the fearless approach of the younger competitors, who outperformed several seasoned veterans following a competitive selection process. Despite a slight dip in the compound category where competitors faced stiffer continental competition, the broader haul successfully secured vital Olympic quota spots for the upcoming Los Angeles Games.
