Asian Games 2018: 5 events where India excelled

Compound Archery at Asian Games 2018: India miss golden double by a whisker

Once again, like the previous session, it was the compound archers who saved India from a major embarrassment in the archery event, after the recurve archers crashed out shamelessly without a tough fight in any discipline.

Though they missed a berth to the final four in the mixed pair event, the men's team and the women's team made the best of the few compound events Asian Games 2018 had to offer. Both surprised the likes of Chinese Taipei in the semifinals and faced Korea in the finals. While the women's team had changed the color of their bronze medal from Incheon 2014 for good, India was looking forward to another gold medal in the men's team.

Sadly, the two teams missed out on both, but not without giving the ultimate champions South Korea a living nightmare. The women's team lost the gold by 3 solitary points, while the men's team stretched the fight to an intense shoot off, where they lost by just 1 agonizing point in the last shot.
