Delhi Commonwealth Games Gold: Former World number 1 archer and Arjuna awardee Deepika Kumari has carried the mantle of India's ambitions in the sport on the world stage for over a decade since she broke through the ranks with her Delhi Commonwealth Games Gold and Asian Games Bronze medal in 2010.

A multiple-time Olympian, and two-time World Championships medal winner Deepika took a long leave of absence from archery since she gave birth to a girl child, Vedika, in December 2022.

The 29-year-old, who represents Jharkhand, showed that the long hiatus hasn’t diminished her hunger as she clinched the Recurve women’s individual gold beating Haryana’s Sangeeta 6-2 and the mixed team gold with Mirnal Chauhan.
