As the Indian compound women archers won a historic gold medal in the team event of the World Archery championships in Berlin on Friday and hoped to secure more medals in individual events on Saturday, high-performance director Sanjeeva Singh said the special achievement would spur youngsters to take to compound archery.
Sanjeeva was thrilled to see the progress of compound archery in the last two decades. “When I started compound archery (in India), after seeing it in the World championship in New York in 2003, everyone laughed at me. They thought when we had not made a mark in the recurve, what was the use of introducing the compound in the country,” said Sanjeeva.
