Olympic Glory Is Ultimate; Shanghai Success Reflects India’s Mental Preparation: Jyothi Surekha Vennam
Archery World Cup Stage: Star compound archer Jyothi Surekha Vennam, who won three gold medals in the Shanghai World Cup, stressed that compound archery should be in the Olympics, expressing that winning a medal at the quadrennial mega event will add further glory to her career.
Jyothi won a hat-trick of gold medals in Shanghai on Saturday in the women’s compound team, mixed team and individual categories. Such a feat was earlier achieved by Indian archery ace Deepika Kumari in 2021 at the (recurve) Archery World Cup Stage 3 Paris.
"I'm happy to win three golds. Not only for me but for the entire compound team who bagged four gold and one silver. We are extremely happy as a team,” Jyothi told SAI Media. "We all feel compound archery should be in the Olympics because we have a big chance. We waited with bated breath last year when it was being discussed whether to get it included in the 2028 Olympics. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen."
