Dhiraj Bommadevara Wins Historic Gold at Archery World Cup Final
Indian recurve archer Dhiraj Bommadevara made history by becoming the first Indian male to win gold at the Archery World Cup Final in Saltillo, Mexico. The 25-year-old Army archer defeated Japan's Nakanishi Junya 6-5 in a shoot-off after a 5-5 tie in the final. This victory ended a 16-year wait for an Indian male recurve gold, with the last male medal won by Jayanta Talukdar in 2010. Dhiraj's win follows strong performances in earlier rounds and boosts his preparations for the upcoming Asian Games.
