World Archery Championships: Rajat Chauhan bags silver, first-ever individual medal for India

Rajat Chauhan earned first-ever individual medal for India in the World Archery Championships at Copenhagen in Denmark. The compound marksman bagged a silver after going down to home favourite Stephan Hansen in the final yesterday. The 2014 Asian Games team gold medalist Rajat Chauhan was going neck and neck till the third set when he shot a poor 8 and 9 as Hansen gained a three-point lead before wrapping up the game 147-143 in a fiercely contested individual men's compound final. India have two more medal prospects in the recurve section today when the women's team of Deepika Kumari, Rimil Buriuly and Laxmirani Majhi will vie for the gold medal against Russia. Laxmirani will be eying a second medal from the meet when she competes against Misun Choi of Korea in the bronze play-off.
