Asian Games 2023: Archers take India past its largest-ever medal count
Synopsis
Asian Games 2023: India's success in compound archery has enabled them to equal their highest number of gold medals at a single edition of the games, totalling 16 gold medals.
Indian archers Jyothi Vennam and Ojas Deotale beat South Korea's So Chaewon and Joo Jaehoon 159-158 in the final to win the Asian Games 2023 gold medal in the Compound Mixed Team event. The duo had earlier defeated the pair from Kazakhstan in the semis. India now has secured its largest-ever medal count at a single edition of the Asian Games.
Previously, India had won 70 medals at the 2018 Asian Games held in Jakarta and Palembang. The addition of bronze medals by Ram Baboo and Manju Rani in the 35km race walk mixed team event allowed India to reach the same medal count in China before the archery event took place.
