Archery Coach Dave Cousins Threatens to Quit Over Delayed Salary Amid Olympic Success
American archery coach Dave Cousins, who led India's compound archers to a historic Olympic quota at the Asian Games, threatened to quit over unpaid salary for more than three months. The Archery Association of India and Sports Authority of India attributed the delay to a technical bank issue, which they say has been resolved and payment is being processed. Cousins helped India secure multiple medals, including three golds and one bronze, contributing to the country's overall archery success at the Games.
