Historic silver for Verma in archery World Cup Final
Abhishek Verma created history in Oct 2015 when he became the first compound archer from the country to win a medal at the archery World Cup Final being held in Mexico City. Abhishek, who reached the final, however, had to settle for a silver after losing to Turkey's DemirElmaagcli 143-145 in the summit clash. The Asian Games individual silver medalist won his quarterfinal match against Denmark's Martin Damsbo 148-146. He was up against home favourite Mario Cardoso in the semifinal and the Delhi-based archer scored a perfect 150 to advance to the final. His rival scored 142.
