The Indian men’s compound archery team has made a historic entry into the gold medal final at the World Archery Championships 2025 in Gwangju, South Korea. This marks the first time ever that an Indian men’s compound team has secured a place in the final of this prestigious tournament.

The trio of Prathamesh Bhalchandra Fuge, Aman Saini, and Rishabh Yadav displayed remarkable resilience and skill in their semifinal match against Turkey. Despite a shaky start, the Indian archers mounted a spectacular comeback, shooting a perfect 120 out of 120 in the last two sets. This flawless performance allowed them to overcome their opponents with a final score of 234-232.

This victory not only propelled them into the final but also guarantees India its first-ever men’s compound team medal at the World Championships. Their journey to the final included impressive victories over strong teams like Australia and the eight-time world champions USA in the quarterfinals, showcasing their ability to perform under pressure.

The team’s incredible run is a testament to the growing prowess of Indian archery. With a medal already secured, the Indian men will now compete for the coveted gold against France in the final match, aiming to cap off their historic campaign with the top honor.
