JOIN USIndians crashed out of the individual rounds of both recurve and compound sections in the ongoing Archery World Cup Stage I in Shanghai on Thursday.
According to information received here, Abhishek Verma, Rajat Chauhan and Trisha Deb made pre-quarterfinal exits in the compound section, while in recurve Jayant Talukdar, Viswash and Lavanya Nomula bowed out in the last-32 round.
Verma and Jyoti Surekha have made the bronze medal play-off in the compound mixed event, while the men’s team has grabbed pole in the recurve section.
The duo will face the French pair of Pierre Julien Deloche and Sophie Dodemont in the battle for the third place.
World No 3 Deepika Kumari, who failed to make the India squad from the trials, was sorely missed as Indian women archers put up an unispiring show.
In the men’s section, barring Jayanta and Viswas, who qualified fifth, none of the others could put up a promising show.
