In Archery, the recurve mixed duo of Atul Verma and Laishram Bombayla Devi made the bronze play-off in Berlin yesterday to brighten India’s medal prospects in an otherwise disappointing campaign in the World Cup Stage IV.
Ranked fifth in the qualifications, the Indian pair lost to top seeds Korea 2-6 in the semifinals to set up a bronze medal clash with seventh seed Italy.
The compound mixed pair of Abhishek Verma and Muskan Kirar, on the other hand, failed to advance, going down to Russia 145-150 after securing a bye into the second round.
