WROCLAW: Indian archers who promise Komalika Bari, who are recurve world champions under 18 years, remain in a row title in the lower level 21 by sailing to the final of the Youth World Championship on Thursday.
India also secured the second medal when Sakshi Chaudhary entered the final of Junior Junior’s compound, while his teammate Rishabh Yadav kept himself in line for bronze.
Returned to the junior age group two years after he became a world champion of the cadet in Madrid, the commander dropped two sets to overcome Casey Kaufold from USA 6-4 (28-27, 25-28, 29-26, 25-30, 29-26, 25-30, 29-26 25).
The sixth seed Komalika will take fourth seed Elijah Cernales of Spain on Sunday in his efforts to become a junior world champion and imitate the achievements of Deepika Kumari.
Deepika number one world is the only Indian who has won the consecutive cadet and junior titles (at Ogden 2009 and Legnica 2011).
“I will try to get a gold medal to have a complete collection.
Gold and Gold.
I feel ready to fight for it in the final,” said Archer Academy Archery Tata Born Jamshedpur.
The 19-year-old player, who is also part of the Indian senior team, describes his five setter victory over the Tokyo Olympics – who returned as strong Americans.
“It was a very close match and he was really strong.
He just came from the Olympics in Tokyo.
He is a great archer.” After getting two Byes, the sixth seed Komalika defeated Jury Jury Shibuya 6-4, Kazakh Ziyodakhon Abdusattarova 6-0 and Mao Watanbe from Japan 6-5 (8-7) in the shooting to make the last four.
In the individual part of the Junior compound, Seed Eighth Sakshi Pipped American Anna Scarbrough 144-142 to form the last clash against Amanda Mlinaric from Croatia.
Palton Hasda (Merida 2006) is the last Indian who won the world junior title in a compound section.
Anna, who got bye bye first, defeated Kazakh Aizhan Seidakhmetova 142-141, Iran Bita Asheghzadeh Oskouei 147-142 and Mexico Dafne Quintero 147-145, to enter the final.
Rishabh, who lost to Robin Jaamta from Estonia 147-146 in the individual semi-finals of the junior man, will take Sebastian Garcia from Mexico in the bronze play-off.
