Archery youth world championships

DDA Yamuna Sports Complex: Para Asian Games gold medallist Sheetal Devi honed her archery skills while competing alongside able-bodied archers. She was at it again as the armless archer competed at the Khelo India national ranking meet for women at the DDA Yamuna Sports Complex.

A strong medal contender at the Paris Paralympics in August this year, Sheetal finished behind Haryana's Ekta Rani in the final shoot-off in the sub-junior girls’ section. The teenager from Jammu lost 138-140 but not before giving Ekta, a world youth champion, a mighty scare.

While Ekta bagged the prize money of Rs 50,000, Sheetal received a cash prize of Rs 40,000.
