ANTALYA (Turkey): Ace Indian archer
Deepika Kumari outclassed Chang
Hye Jin of Korea in straight sets to
clinch the bronze medal in the
women's individual recurve event of
the World Cup, here on Sunday.
Seeded ninth in the event, Deepika
came out all guns blazing to deflate
her second-seeded opponent 6 (26,
29, 26, 28)- 2 (25, 26, 28, 27) to come
up with a clean performance.
Korea though did not return
disappointed as their archers stood
first and second on the podium with
Deepika at third.
Earlier, the 20-year-old archer put
up a brave fight in the semifinals
but was denied a place in the final
by Olympic gold medallist Ki Bo Bae
of Korea.
The in-form Deepika kept the tri-
colour flying high after veteran
archer Dola Banerjee, Satbir Kaur
and Snehal Divakar all lost in the
first round of the individual recurve.
The former world number one began
the tournament with a 6-0 victory
over Christine Bjerendal of Sweden
and then got past Anastasia Pavlova
of Ukraine, American La Nola
Pritchard, Kaori Kawanaka of Japan
and Taipei's Shih-Chia Lin en route
to her clash with Ki Bo Bae.
