Asian Archery Championships: Parneet Kaur upsets Jyothi Surekha Vennam to win individual compound crown
Bangkok: Teenager Parneet Kaur secured the biggest win of her career when she pipped ace Indian compound archer Jyothi Surekha Vennam to clinch the individual crown at the Asian Championships Bangkok on Thursday.
Compound archers once again overshadowed their recurve teammates as India bagged three gold, one silver, and three bronze medals.
Of the seven medals, only a solitary bronze came from the recurve section (women’s team).
In an all-Indian women’s compound individual final, Parneet trailed by two points till the halfway mark but the bespectacled 18-year-old produced two perfect last rounds to level the score 145-145 and force a tie-breaker.
Parneet Kaur triumphs as the 2023 ASIAN CHAMPION!
