Deepika Kumari, an Indian archer, has added a sixth medal to her collection at the World Cup Final. After falling to China’s Li Jiaman in the final, Indian archer Deepika Kumari added a silver medal to her collection at the Archery World Cup Final.
Deepika Kumari of India earned a sixth World Cup Final medal to her collection with a silver in the Archery World Cup Final, losing 0-6 to China’s Li Jiaman. The 2010 Commonwealth Games winner had dominated the quarter and semi-finals, defeating Li’s Chinese partner Yang Xiaolei 6-0 before defeating eventual bronze medalist Alejandra Valencia 6-4 at home. “It’s an honour to be a part of and win this World Cup. Deepika stated, “Now I’m going to work even harder after that.”
The eight top archers from each gender’s compound and recurve events compete in the elite international circuit of archery, which Li won on her first try. Qualifying archers are determined by their global ranking or by winning one of the three global Cup stages that year.
Li reflected on her changes between bouts, saying that “the last two felt like a little bit more of a challenge and the first match was relatively tense.” While I was still giving it my all, I wasn’t as anxious as I had been during the first game.
“I was merely attempting to extract the best arrows.” I didn’t give winning or losing a lot of thought.”
In the meanwhile, Li triumphed in the championship match of the world’s top eight archers in both the compound and recurve events for each gender, which is determined by their world ranking or by winning one of the year’s three World Cup stages.
Regarding her differences between bouts, Li remarked, “The first match was relatively tense and the last two felt like a little bit more of a challenge.” “I wasn’t as nervous as I was in the first match, but I was still giving it my all.
All I was doing was attempting to remove the best arrows. I wasn’t obsessing with winning or losing.” In the final tournament of the season, the five-member Indian team—three compound and two recurve archers—finished their campaign with a single medal.
