NEW DELHI: Indian compound archer Prathamesh Jawkar clinched the silver medal in an intense showdown against Denmark's Mathias Fullerton in his debut World Cup final. The high-stakes final reached a heart-stopping climax, ultimately decided by a shoot-off finish, with Fullerton prevailing by the slimmest of margins due to his arrow's proximity to the centre.
Jawkar, who had previously stunned the world No. 1 and reigning champion Mike Schloesser, displayed exceptional skill throughout the tournament. In the final, he initially fell behind after dropping a single point in the opening round. At the halfway mark, Jawkar trailed 89-90, but he made a remarkable comeback, shooting a perfect 30 points in the third round to level the score at 119-all.
