Heartbreaking to lose the gold by just 2 points! 227-229 against Kazakhstan must have been a nail-biter. But silver and bronze is still a fantastic haul. Tejal, Raj, and Chikitha did us proud. On to the next stage!

As an archery fan, it's great to see new names emerging. Breaking a U-21 World Record and then immediately performing at the senior level is no small feat. The foundation supporting her seems to be doing good work.

While we celebrate this success, I hope the archery federation and SAI ensure consistent support for these young athletes. We've seen talent fade due to lack of proper backing. Let's not let that happen here.
