<p>This was the trio’s second consecutive team gold after bagging the first at Santo Domingo World Cup Stage 1 on April 5. India had beaten Great Britain in the Stage 1 final.<br /><br />The trio had bagged the first team gold for India in the World Cup series at Antalya (Turkey) in 2008. That gold was followed by two more earlier this year.<br /><br />The women’s recurve team, however, failed to clinch the bronze medal, losing the play-off to Ukraine 197-212.<br /><br />In the men’s summit clash, Russia trailed by one point (54-55) at the first end but recovered in the second end to tie the match at 108 points at the halfway mark.<br /><br />However, India took the lead in the third end at 164-162. Russia saved their best for in the last end, but it was not enough to beat the Indians.<br /><br />In the women’s third place play-off, it was a pretty good performance in dusty conditions as the Indian eves took a 53-49 lead in the first end.<br /><br />They, however, could not overcome the windy conditions as they did in the first end and went on a wayward shooting spree.<br /><br />The Ukrainians tied the match at 100 points and took the lead in the third end with 154-150. The last end for India was stressful as the last arrow slipped from the arrow rest.</p>
