By IANS News August 08, 2025 • 14:58 PM View: 35

Lee Eun Ho: India’s campaign in the mixed team compound archery event at the World Games 2025 came to an end in the quarterfinals here on Friday, as Madhura Dhamangaonkar and Abhishek Verma suffered a narrow loss to the South Korean duo of Moon Yeeun and Lee Eun Ho.

The top-seeded Indian pair, who topped the qualification round with a score of 1415 to be seeded first, went down 151-154 against the eighth-seeded Korean duo, ending India’s hopes of repeating their success from the previous edition of the World Games in 2022, where Abhishek and Jyothi Surekha Vennam clinched the mixed team bronze in Birmingham.

Meanwhile, India’s challenge in the individual compound events is still alive, with four of the five in action making it to the quarterfinal stage.
