Indian archers have delivered a spectacular, historic performance at the ongoing Asian Games, sweeping three gold medals in compound archery events.

The Women's Compound Team, featuring Jyothi Surekha Vennam, Chikitha Taniparthi, and Prithika Pradeep, successfully defended their title by defeating China 238-234, marking Jyothi's incredible 4th Asian Games gold.

In a breathtaking Mixed Compound Team final, Chikitha Taniparthi and Sahil Jadhav overcame South Korea in a dramatic 20-19 shoot-off after a 157-157 tie. This victory is doubly significant as it secured India's first-ever Olympic quota places for the LA 2028 Games, where compound archery will make its Olympic debut.

Finally, the Men's Compound Team (Kushal Dalal, Sahil Jadhav, and Ganesh Mani Ratnam Thirumuru) staged a thrilling comeback from a 2-point deficit to narrowly edge out China 238-237 in the final. This phenomenal hat-trick of gold medals showcases India's sheer dominance in the sport.
