Archery Superstars Aditi Swami and Jyothi Surekha Vennam Take Home Team Gold at Shanghai World Archery Championships

Archery Champion Aditi Swami expressed her excitement over the Indian team’s shooting process working well for them. Swami, who is the reigning under-18 and senior World Archery Champion, hopes that they can replicate their success at the World Cup in Paris last year, where both the men and women secured team gold medals.

The Indian line-up for the competition includes Swami, Asian Games Champion Jyothi Surekha Vennam, and Parneet Kaur. However, the squad is currently without their coach Sergio Pagni, who was instrumental in many of their successes last season. Pagni is currently attending a camp in India.

In the final, the Indian women’s team will be facing Italy, who advanced after a semifinal shoot-off victory against Kazakhstan when the scores were tied at 227 points in regulation. Meanwhile, the Dutch men’s team, seeded 10th, also emerged victorious in a tiebreak against France to secure a spot in the final. Their perfect X-ring 10s were contrasted against their opponents’ standard 10s, ultimately helping them survive the match.

During this session at Shanghai’s World Archery Championships, Kazakhstan’s women’s team and Korean men’s team both secured bronze medals. The competition resumed with recurve qualifying rounds later that afternoon.
