<p>There was mixed news for the Indian archery contingent at the World Cup stage 4 with the women's recurve team clinching gold while the men's recurve team settled for silver here Sunday.<br /><br /></p>.<p>India beat Mexico 6-0 without surrendering a single set point to bag the recurve women's gold medal.<br />Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games gold medallist Deepika Kumari was the star of the show shooting three of the Indian team's five 10s. <br /><br />"The match wasn't too difficult," said Deepika. "Hopefully we can do the same at the Asian Games."<br />"This event has already raised our confidence. We have had a difficult season, but the hard work we've put in ahead of Incheon is starting to pay off."<br /><br />The 17th Asian Games are scheduled to be held in Incheon, South Korea Sep 19-Oct 4.<br />China swept Georgia in a one-sided bronze medal match to round up the top three.<br /><br />In the men's team final, Mexico took a 2-0 lead and never looked back. India had to settle for silver losing 3-5. India trailed 2-4 in the fourth set with Mexico's anchor archer Juan Rene Serrano only needing a red to seal the match.<br /><br />"Everything was in my mind," said Serrano about that last arrow. "It wasn't too good - but good enough to win." Needing a seven to draw the fourth set and win the match -- Mexico were already leading 4-2, Serrano shot and turned quickly off the line without looking to see where his arrow had landed: "I knew I just had to put my arrow in the red to win the match."<br /><br />"When I heard the announcer calling 'seven', I was relieved!" The only right-handed archer in Mexico's team here, Juan Rene shot last in the trio's rotation. He said that Luis Alvarez and Pedro Vivas made his job easy.<br /><br />It is a second lifetime World Cup stage team gold for Mexico. The other was won at Medellin last year.<br />Russia lost the recurve men's bronze medal match to China. The Russian team improved each end, but China had built too much of a lead after winning the first two sets.</p>
