The women's compound team comprising Gagandeep Kaur, Jhano Hansdah, and Manjudha Soy were handed a heavy defeat at the hands of the US archers the Archery World Cup Stage 3 Ogden (USA) yesterday. As a result, the Indians had to be content with the silver. The American squad of Erika Anschutz, Christie Colin and Jamie van Natta called the shots from the very inception to inflict a 229-218 defeat on the Indians last night. India, who had a great opportunity of notching up four gold and one bronze medals, thus lost all their decisive matches to settle for four silver and finish fifth in the tally. The lesser-known Indian compound archers, on the other hand, surprised with their first-ever entry in a World Cup, lost to the hosts. In the compound final, India suffered a bad first arrow (6) to trail 52-56 in the first end. The Americans dished out consistent performances as they repeated the same score in the second end to take a commanding 112-106 lead. The gap just got better as the US shot two 9s and four 10s to lead 169-161 in the penultimate end before settling the issue.
