Asian Games Archery Semifinals

Anonymous
India advanced in all four compound archery team events at the Asian Games, with both its compound and recurve mixed teams reaching the semifinals. Sahil Jadhav and Chikitha Taniparthi beat Mongolia and Kazakhstan in compound mixed, while Dhiraj Bommadevra and Kumkum Mohod recorded 6-0 wins over the UAE and Vietnam in recurve mixed. India’s men’s and women’s compound teams also moved into the last four after quarterfinal victories over Bhutan and Kazakhstan. The mixed-team events carry added stakes because the Asian Games offer LA28 Olympic qualification places, and India is seeking another strong campaign after winning a record nine archery medals in 2023.
