World Cup Stage 1: Twin gold for Jyothi Surekha

KOLKATA: It was a golden day for Jyothi Surekha Vennam. The Andhra girl claimed the individual and compound mixed team gold medals in the season-opening Archery World Cup Stage 1 in Antalya on Saturday.

Jyothi was at her sublime best hitting 10s with such a remarkable regularity that her two 9s in the semifinal and one 9 in the final of the individual competition looked to be mere aberrations. In the team event, India missed out on equalling the world record of hitting a perfect score (160) in four ends when Jyothi's World Cup debutant partner Ojas Deotale hit a 9 in the last end. However, that didn't stop the Indian duo from prevailing over Chinese Taipei's Chen Yi-Hsuan and Chen Chieh-Lun 159-154.
