India's archers achieve historic success at Asian Games in Nagoya

Indian archers returned from the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya with nine medals, including five gold. The compound archers dominated, sweeping all three team events, while the women’s recurve team secured India’s first-ever Asian Games gold in that category, ending Korea's seven-edition victory streak. The campaign highlighted India's emergence as a force in archery, culminating in a total of 11 medals, including historic wins in both compound and recurve events. This performance also earned an Olympic quota for the upcoming 2028 Games, where compound archery will debut. AAI secretary general Virendra Sachdeva credits sustained investments in infrastructure and training for this achievement.
