GUWAHATI,
June 10: Ace archer Jayanta Talukdar added another World
Championship Gold Medal to his name as India lifted the mens
recurve team event title in the World Archery Championship
Stage II held at Antalya, Turkey today. India beat USA by
218-214 in the final.
Indian team, comprising of Rahul Banerjee, Mangal Singh Champia
and Jayanta Talukdar, were favourite in the final. Earlier,
India faced USA for five occasions in the World Cup Competition
and in all the five times India came out as victorious. This
time Brady Ellison, Richard Johnson and Victor Wunderle who
represented USA in the final today, got a golden opportunity
to take the sweet revenge but they failed to capitalize the
opportunity, thanks to a brilliant performance by the Indians.
