India's Abhishek Verma clinched the gold medal in the compound men's individual section in the Archery World Cup Stage 3 competition in Poland last night. At Wroclaw, the world number 18 was at his best in the individual final as he held on to his lead to wrap up the issue 148 -145, against Esmaeil Ebadi of Iran. The Asian Games silver medallist thus avenged his defeat to Ebadi at the Incheon 2014 in style. That time, Verma went down to the top seed Iranian 141-145. India's recurve mixed pair of Deepika Kumari and Mangal Singh Champia will look to earn the country a second gold when they face their opponents from Mexico today. Earlier yesterday, India gave up easily to lose the bronze medal play-off against a higher-ranked Italy who put up a consistent show to win the compound men's team event 233-230. The Indian team included the trio of Verma, Kawal Preet Singh and Rajat Chuhan.
