World championships silver medallist Jyothi Surekha Vennam will headline the Indian challenge at the Archery World Cup 2023 stage 3 in Medellin, Colombia, scheduled from June 13 to 18. Matches will be live streamed.
India will be fielding a 16-member archery team - eight men and eight women - for the third archery World Cup of the year. Veteran Olympian Tarundeep Rai will be in action but Atanu Das will miss this event.
Tushar Shelke and Mrinal Chauhan have replaced Atanu Das and Neeraj Chauhan, respectively, for the Medellin meet based on selection trials for the stage 3 World Cup held in Sonepat in May.
Dhiraj Bommadevara will be the one to look out from in the Indian men’s recurve contingent. The 21-year-old won a silver and a bronze in the men's recurve team and individual events, respectively, in the first leg in Antalya, Turkey.
In compound archery, Jyothi Surekha Vennam will be a top medal prospect. The 26-year-old Jyothi Surekha Vennam combined with Ojas Pravin Deotale to win the compound mixed team gold medal in both the previous archery World Cup legs this year - the first in Antalya and the second in Shanghai.
In Antalya, Jyothi Surekha Vennam had also equalled the world record score (713 points from a maximum possible 720) in the women’s compound qualification round en route to winning the individual gold medal.
Meanwhile, Abhishek Verma, a two-time individual World Cup gold medallist, will return to the Indian men’s compound team after missing the first two stages. Verma will replace Rishabh Yadav. Prathamesh Jawkar, who won the individual gold medal in Shanghai, is also in the team.
Indian archers won four medals at the Antalya leg and three in the Shanghai leg.
Archers who win the individual events at Medellin will automatically qualify for the Archery World Cup final to be held in Hermosillo, Mexico in September.
