India’s archery team delivered another remarkable performance on the continental stage as star duo Abhishek Verma and Deepshikha marched into the final of the Asian Archery Championships. Their composed shooting, precision under pressure, and seamless coordination showcased why they remain one of Asia’s strongest compound mixed pairs.
The Indian pair delivered strong ends throughout their semifinal match, maintaining rhythm and control even against experienced opponents. Their convincing performance not only secured a place in the gold-medal final but also guaranteed India a podium finish in the compound division. This achievement signals India’s rising dominance in compound archery at a time when the sport is growing rapidly across the continent.
While the compound team continues to shine, India’s recurve archers are also battling hard. Both the men’s and women’s recurve squads have advanced to crucial bronze-medal playoffs, and they are pushing with great determination to convert opportunities into tangible success. Their progress reflects the growing depth and determination in India’s recurve program — traditionally the tougher, more competitive discipline globally.
The Asian Archery Championships, known for featuring world-class talent from Korea, China, Japan, and Central Asia, have always been a critical indicator of continental standards. India holding its ground across both compound and recurve formats highlights how far the nation has come in developing international-level archers.
As the championship moves toward the medal rounds, all eyes will be on:
- Verma & Deepshikha – Can they convert their final appearance into a historic gold and repeat their 2023 success?
- Recurve teams – Will India secure a bronze and continue its upward global trajectory?
With consistent performances, rising young talent, and experienced names leading the charge, India’s presence in global archery continues to strengthen. The current championship run stands as another milestone in the nation’s growing sporting journey, inspiring a new generation of archers to aim high and shoot with confidence.
