In a mixed day for India at the Archery World Cup Stage 2, victorious highs and disappointing lows were experienced. The women's recurve archery team ensured a medal by defeating the formidable South Korean team in the semifinals, securing a gold medal clash against China on Sunday.

The seasoned team, featuring Deepika Kumari, Ankita Bhakat, and newcomer Kumkum Mohod, maintained their composure, winning with a decisive straight-set victory. The men's team, contrastingly, faced a shocking defeat to Bangladesh, ending their campaign without a single set win.
