APL Can Be Bridge To My Olympic Dream, Says Indian Ace Archer Deepika Kumari
Archery Association Of India: India’s top archer and former world No.1 Deepika Kumari has called the upcoming Archery Premier League (APL) a historic milestone for Indian archery. She emphasises that the professional franchise-based league will enable her to compete alongside the world’s best, playing a crucial role in her quest for an Olympic medal at the Los Angeles 2028 Games.
Recurve archer Deepika, potentially making her fifth and final Olympic appearance in 2028, mentioned that the APL is the type of competition she requires to sharpen her skills for her “ultimate target.”
“For me, LA 2028 is the ultimate target. I have always dreamt of standing on the Olympic podium, and I believe the Archery Premier League can power my journey towards that dream. The league will replicate the kind of pressure and intensity we face at the Olympics—playing in front of packed audiences, every arrow carrying importance and competing against the world’s best. Learning to thrive in that environment will make me stronger for Los Angeles,” Deepika said.
