Jyothi scripts fairytale finish with gold medals in compound mixed team and individual events
V. Jyothi Surekha performed exceptionally well to claim two compound gold medals in the Archery World Cup Stage-1 in Antalya, Turkey, on Saturday.
Jyothi combined with Ojas Deotale to help India beat Chinese Taipei, comprising Yi-Hsuan Chen and Chieh-Lun Chen, 159-154 in the mixed team final.
The ace archer then defeated two stalwarts, World No.1 Ella Gibson in the semifinals and World champion Sara Lopez in the final, to secure her maiden individual title in a World Cup Stage.
Even in the absence of prominent archer Abhishek Verma, 26-year-old Jyothi, a triple World championships silver medallist, and 20-year-old debutant Deotale shot with amazing consistency as they scored 15 times 10, including 12 Xs, out of a maximum of 16 shots.
The only 9, which denied India a world record, came from Deotale in the final end.
This was India’s second mixed team gold after Jyothi and Abhishek’s win the World Cup Stage-3 in Paris in June last year.
Jyothi continued her fine form in the individual competition.
