Deepika Kumari wins individual recurve gold at Salt Lake World Cup
Ace Indian archer Deepika Kumari shrugged off her poor run of form by clinching the gold medal in the women’s recurve event at the World Cup (Stage Ⅲ) after a gap of six years beating Germany’s Michelle Kroppen 7-3 to qualify for the circuit Final.
Deepika is a four-time World Cup final silver medallist (2011, 2012, 2013, and 2015). She has been automatically qualified for the Archery World Cup Final in Samsun, Turkey, which will be her seventh appearance at the season-ending event.
In the medal standings, India has finished fourth behind USA, Colombia and Chinese Taipei with a gold, silver, and bronze each in the penultimate stage of the World Cup.
India’s Asian Games-bound archery squad will now head off to Berlin for the fourth World Cup from July 16-22 ahead of the Indonesia Asian Games in August-September.
