Asian Youth Archery Championship: Rising Indian archer Vaishnavi Pawar, impressed with her brilliant performance as the Indian team clinched the silver medal in the recurve U-18 women's team category at the 2024 Asian Youth Archery Championship in Taipei City, Chinese Taipei.

Vaishnavi generally took the first shot for the three-member Indian team, that also comprised Pranjal Tholiya and Jannat, in every round and handled the pressure quite well as they pipped the mighty South Korea in the semi-final in a shoot-off.

The Indian team found themselves in a similar situation after they fought back from a 2-4 deficit to force a shoot-off for the gold medal against the hosts, who ultimately prevailed.
