Armed with a positive mindset and a brand new bow set, experienced compound archer Abhishek Verma stamped his class on his return to the World Cup by securing his third individual gold medal in Medellin, Colombia. The fact that Verma, who has been representing the country in international events since 2013, bounced back at the right time augurs well for India ahead of the Berlin World championships and the Hangzhou Asian Games.
Verma worked on improving his game after missing out on a berth in the elite Indian squad for the first two stages of the World Cup. “Ups and downs are part of a sportsperson’s career. I remained composed and continued to focus on my performances. And I got good results in the National championships, National Ranking Archery Tournament and an Asia Cup Stage,” said Verma.
