Archer Trisha wins bronze in compound women’s individual event

Trisha Deb shoots in her women's compound individual bronze medal archery match against Taiwan's Huang I Jou at the Asian Games in Incheon on Saturday.

In what came as surprise, Trisha Deb won a bronze in the compound women’s individual event in the Asian Games to boost India’s tally in archery to three medals on the day so far.

Trisha won 138-134 against Chinese Taipei’s Huang I. Jou.

The Indian was lucky to finish on the podium given that she was trailing her rival till the last arrow.

After scoring perfect 10s in the fourth round, Jou fumbled in the fifth and final round as she managed to garner just 18 points against the Indian’s 25.

The last round completely turned the contest in the closing stages and the Indian girl walked away with a third-place finish.
