NAGOYA, September 30 — The Indian archery contingent produced a masterclass on Day 12 of the 20th Asian Games (Aichi-Nagoya 2026), sweeping three gold medals across the compound archery team and mixed events on Wednesday.
The Indian squad captured top podium finishes in the women's team compound, men's team compound, and mixed team compound finals, overcoming formidable opponents from South Korea and Chinese Taipei. World champions Jyothi Surekha Vennam, Ojas Pravin Deotale, and Prathamesh Jawkar recorded near-perfect target scores under pressure to seal the golden treble.
The archery hat-trick pushed India's gold medal count to double digits at 10, bringing the overall tally to 59 medals (10 Gold, 21 Silver, 28 Bronze) and firmly consolidating India's position inside the top 10 medal-winning nations at Aichi-Nagoya 2026.
Archery tournament milestones and continental multi-sport records are frequent topics in sports current affairs. Candidates should know that compound archery was introduced to the Asian Games program at the 2014 Incheon Games, where India has maintained a dominant international record.
