Indian Archers storm into the final of World Cup at Antalya
Mumbai: Indian men recurve archers today created a major upset today when they beat favorites South Korea to storm into the final of the World Cup at Antalya, Turkey, said a mail from Olympic Gold Quest.
Rahul Banerjee, Tarundeep Rai (both supported by OGQ) and Jayanta Talukdar were in red hot form for Team India and shot brilliantly to get better of the hugely experienced Korean Team in the semis. Going into the final 6 arrows, India was trailing by 1 point, but all 3 Indian archers held their nerves to clinch the tie by 1 point and win 225-224.
Team India had finished an impressive fifth in the qualifying round on Wednesday. Earlier today, they started their campaign against Mexico in the Round of 16 and beat them by 217-215 points. In the quarterfinals they beat Netherlands 216-215 to set up the semi-final clash with the Koreans. Now India will take on Great Britain in the finals on Sunday.
OGQ has funded the training of Rahul Banerjee and Tarundeep Rai under the renowned Korean coach Lim Chae Wong. OGQ has also provided them the support of peak performance trainer Vaibhav Agashe and physiotherapist Dr. Nikhil Latey, Head, Sports Science and Rehabilitation at OGQ.
Wish our archers good luck for the final on Sunday.
Cheers,
Team OGQ
