The compound style will remain in focus for the Archery Association of India despite the International Olympic Council's rejection of a proposal for its inclusion in the 2028 Olympic Games alongside the recurve format.
The IOC Executive Board on Friday rejected the World Archery's proposal, saying it will impact the overall budget of the Games since the number of archers qualifying for the Games will increase.
"It doesn't make a difference. We will keep on performing well at the World Championship and Asian Games. Irrespective of the decision, it's going to grow in India," India's high performance director Sanjeeva Singh told PTI from Sonipat.
