Women archers win bronze in World Cup

The Indian women`s recurve team of Deepika Kumari, Laishram Bombayla Devi and Chekrovolu Swuro settled for a silver medal after being tamed by Korea in the Archery World Cup Stage I in Shanghai on April 14 2012.

The women`s team`s performance was the only saving grace for the Indians as the fancied men`s team of Tarundeep Rai, Jayanta Talukdar and Rahul Banerjee had crashed out in the quarters.

  • According to information received here, India did not pose any challenge to their Korean counterparts going down 212-222 in a one-sided affair.
  • Swuro and Deepika featured in the women`s individual events but only to make first-round exit.
  • Swuro went down to Miranda Leek of USA 3-7, Deepika was ousted by Yuting Fang by an identical scoreline.

There will be a ray of hope tomorrow when Gagandeep Kaur, Parveena and Jyothi Surekha fight it out against their Italian opponents in the bronze playoff of the women`s compound section.
