India return with a bronze from World Cup Stage II

ANTALYA: India’s compound mixed pair of Abhishek Verma and Divya Dahal brought some cheers by clinching a bronze medal to conclude the country’s otherwise miserable campaign at the Archery World Cup Stage II here.

Having lost the men’s and women’s team events in the morning session, Verma and Dahal were India’s only hope to sign off with a medal and the duo managed did not disappoint.

The Indian combo survived a scare before posting a 154- 153 win in the bronze-medal match to finish with a solitary medal for the country.

Indian men’s compound team earlier lost the bronze play- off to their French opponents, while the women’s went down 222-227 earlier in the day. (AGENCIES)
