The Indian archer defeats South Korea’s Kim Woo-jin in the final to achieve a landmark individual triumph.
NEW DELHI, Sep 14: Indian archer Dhiraj Bommadevara created history by becoming the first Indian man to win gold in the individual recurve event at the Archery World Cup Final.
Bommadevara produced a composed performance against South Korea’s Kim Woo-jin in the title clash, holding his nerve in the decisive stages to secure the landmark victory.
The achievement marks a major milestone for Indian archery and adds another significant international success to Bommadevara’s growing career.
His triumph also strengthens India’s standing in recurve archery, with the country continuing to produce strong performers on the global circuit.
The victory is particularly notable as Bommadevara had previously established himself as one of India’s leading recurve archers, but had been searching for a major individual World Cup Final title.
