Jyothi Surekha Vennam stayed on course for a hat-trick of medals as India secured two podium finishes at the Archery World Cup Stage 4 here on Saturday with the women’s compound team settling for silver and the mixed team clinching bronze.
The trio of Jyothi, Parneet Kaur and 16-year-old debutant Prithika Pradeep looked well on course for gold when they were leading 170-169 in the third end against Chinese Taipei, but could not hold into their advantage.
A wayward seven in the final end proved costly, while Chinese Taipei’s trio of Huang I-Jou, Chen Yi-Hsuan and Chiu Yu-Erh held their composure to shoot a match-winning 58.
The Indians, in contrast, could muster only 55. Vennam, Kaur and Pradeep ultimately lost 225-227.
Later, in the mixed team event, the top-seeded Indian pair of Vennam and Rishabh Yadav outwitted 10th-seeded El Salvador duo of Paola Corado and Douglas Vladimir Nolasco 156-153 to claim bronze.
