Amravati: After returning empty-handed from World Cup Archery Stage 3 in Antalya, Turkey, and then failing to qualify for World Cup Archery Stage 4 in Spain, as well as for the World Archery Championship in Korea, ace Amravati archer Madhura Dhamgaonkar is looking for a chance to redeem herself at the World University Games in Essen, Germany, where archery action is slated to begin on Tuesday.Madhura, who struck a purple patch during the Shanghai World Cup Stage 2 by winning an individual gold, a team silver, and a mixed bronze, came up short, like all other Indian archers, at Antalya, where neither the compound nor the recurve archers could win a single medal for the country.Upon returning home, Madhura faced selection trials for World Cup Stage 4 and the World Archery Championship in Pune, but she, like Ojas Deotale, struck a bad patch and faded out.At the World University Games, Madhura gets a chance to re-establish herself as she leads the Indian female contingent, which includes Aditi Jaiswal, Basanti Mahato, Bhajan Kaur, Avaneet Kaur, and Parneet Kaur.The Indian male archery contingent consists of Mrinal Chauhan, Vishnu Chaudhary, Kushal Dalal, Aryan Rana, Sahil Rajesh Jadhav, and Hritik Sharma. The spotlight will, however, be on Madhura and Spain World Cup Stage 4 team silver medallist Parneet Kaur.Amravati: After returning empty-handed from World Cup Archery Stage 3 in Antalya, Turkey, and then failing to qualify for World Cup Archery Stage 4 in Spain, as well as for the World Archery Championship in Korea, ace Amravati archer Madhura Dhamgaonkar is looking for a chance to redeem herself at the World University Games in Essen, Germany, where archery action is slated to begin on Tuesday.Madhura, who struck a purple patch during the Shanghai World Cup Stage 2 by winning an individual gold, a team silver, and a mixed bronze, came up short, like all other Indian archers, at Antalya, where neither the compound nor the recurve archers could win a single medal for the country.Upon returning home, Madhura faced selection trials for World Cup Stage 4 and the World Archery Championship in Pune, but she, like Ojas Deotale, struck a bad patch and faded out.At the World University Games, Madhura gets a chance to re-establish herself as she leads the Indian female contingent, which includes Aditi Jaiswal, Basanti Mahato, Bhajan Kaur, Avaneet Kaur, and Parneet Kaur.The Indian male archery contingent consists of Mrinal Chauhan, Vishnu Chaudhary, Kushal Dalal, Aryan Rana, Sahil Rajesh Jadhav, and Hritik Sharma.
