With their current form and determination, they aimed to add another gold medal to India's tally.
Historic Victory for Men's Recurve Team
In another remarkable achievement, the Indian men's recurve team, comprising Dhiraj Bommadevara, Tarundeep Rai, and Pravin Jadhav, secured a historic victory over reigning champions South Korea. This win is particularly significant as it marks India's first triumph over South Korea in a World Cup final, boosting their prospects for the upcoming Paris Olympics.
