Pilsen world championships

Para World Archery Championships: India’s Sheetal Devi continued her extraordinary rise in para-archery, clinching the women’s compound individual gold at the Para World Archery Championships 2025 in Gwangju, South Korea, on Saturday with a thrilling 146-143 win over Turkiye’s world No.1 Oznur Cure Girdi.

The win capped off a memorable campaign for the 17-year-old from Jammu and Kashmir, who left the championships with a three-medal haul — gold in women’s compound individual, silver in the compound women’s open team event, and bronze in mixed team competition.

In the singles final, Sheetal displayed nerves of steel. After the opening end was tied at 29-29, she seized control in the second end by firing a hat-trick of 10s to take it 30-27.
