India's Compound Archery Team Seeks Revival Under New Coach Ahead of Asian Games
India's compound archery team, once dominant under former coach Sergio Pagni, faces challenges under new head coach Dave Cousins ahead of the Asian Games. Since Pagni's departure after the Hangzhou Games, India's performance has declined, with only one gold and one bronze from three World Cup stages this season and no medals at Antalya. Cousins, appointed three months ago, inherits an inconsistent squad missing key archers. The upcoming World Cup stage in July is their final international event before the Asian Games in Japan.
