Gurnoor Singh showcased exceptional talent at the Swiss Open Indoor World Series in Lausanne, securing a silver medal in the U21 men’s compound category.
His performance marks a significant achievement for Indian archery on the international stage.
In addition to Gurnoor's success, Devanah Singh contributed to India’s medal tally by clinching the bronze medal in the same category.
Lorenzo Gubbini of Italy won the gold in the compound u21 category with a close 147-146 win over Gurnoor.
Their achievements come at a time when Indian archers are striving to make their mark in global competitions.
The Swiss Open Indoor World Series serves as a platform for archers to demonstrate their skills and compete at a high level.
Gurnoor's silver medal is a testament to his hard work and preparation, while Devanah's bronze adds to the momentum of Indian archery as they continue to shine in international events.
Meanwhile yesterday, in the men's recurve category, Atanu Das made headlines by winning a bronze medal in his first international competition since the 2023 Asian Games.
Das delivered a stellar performance, scoring 582 in 60 shots and advancing through the elimination rounds with ten perfect sets.
Despite a setback in the semifinals, he rebounded to defeat local favorite Thomas Rufer in the bronze medal match.
However, it was a mixed outing for Indian compound archers.
Uday Kamboj, who competed in the men's compound event, fell short in a shoot-off against top seed Braden Gellenthien from the USA after initially leading the match.
In the women's compound category, both Avneet Kaur and Muskan Kirar were eliminated in their pre-quarterfinal matches against higher-seeded opponents.
