The Archery World Cup 2025 heads to its fourth and final stop in Madrid. A total of 336 archers from 49 countries will battle between July 8 and 13 to grab the crucial points to qualify for the World Cup Final in Nanjing.
India have sent a 16-member contingent to the Spanish capital, headlined by Deepika Kumari.
Four-time Olympian Deepika, who has 37 Archery World Cup medals, clinched bronze in the women’s individual recurve at Stage 2 in Shanghai earlier this year.
Jyothi Surekha Vennam, an Asian Games gold medallist, meanwhile, will take charge of the women’s compound team. She will be joined by Parneet Kaur and 16-year-old Prithika Pradeep, who is set for her World Cup debut.
