India’s young archers Komalika Bari, Sakshi Chaudhary and Priya Gurjar reached the finals of their respective events at the World Archery Youth Championships in Wroclaw, Poland.
The 19-year-old Bari, already a part of the senior set-up consistently, is a former Under-18 champion (Madrid 2019) and will look to add the Under-21 crown on Sunday. Bari can hope to emulate her senior teammate and become the second recurve woman from India to hold the under-18 and the under-21 world titles in back-to-back editions, a feat that was completed by Deepika Kumari 10 years back.
No other junior recurve archer is in medal contention.
