Jyothi Surekha Vennam, Aditi Swami and Parneet Kaur continued India's stellar show in archery at the Asian Games 2023. 

They won gold after beating Yi-Hsuan Chen, I-Jou Huang, and Lu-Yun Wang of Chinese Taipei in a pulsating final by one point. 

This was India's second gold medal in archery at the 19th Asian Games after the top finish in the mixed team event of compound archery. They have more medals confirmed as three of their archers are in the final of the individual event. 

The Indian trio has little difficulty in making it to the final. On Thursday, they started off by knocking over Hong Kong China in the quarterfinal and then made light work of Indonesia in the semis.

Jyothi, who has already won a gold medal at the Games with Ojas Pravin Deotale in the compound archery mixed team event led India's charge along with Aditi Gopichand Swami. The experienced archers hit the bullseye multiple times in the quarterfinal against the Hong Kong China trio of Hung Ting Cheng, Yuk Sheung Wong, and Yin Yi Luk in the quarterfinal even as Parneet warmed up to the occasion. They registered a resounding win by 231-220 to enter the semi-final.

The outcome of the semi-final was no different. In fact, if anything, the Indian archers, especially Parveen, upped their shooting. 

They shot a perfect 60 in the first End to take a huge lead which became impossible for Indonesia to cover as the match progressed. India walked away with an easy win over Indonesia's Ratih Fadhly, Syahara Khoerunisa, and Sri Ranti by 233-219.
