At the FISU World University Games 2025 held in Rhine-Ruhr, Germany, Parneet Kaur and Kushal Dalal secured India’s first gold medal in the compound mixed team archery event. Their victory, with a final score of 157 against the Republic of Korea’s 154, marked a historic moment for India in university-level international sports. This achievement also signifies the growing prominence of compound archery, which is set to debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Their performance has spotlighted the potential of Indian athletes in non-mainstream sports and could pave the way for greater investment in training and resources for compound archery nationwide.
