Indian compound archer Jyothi Surekha Vennam finished with three silver medals to her name at the World Championships in Yankton, USA on Saturday, adding the individual event second-place finish to the same in women’s team and mixed team events.
Jyothi lost a nerve-wracking final to Colombian superstar Sara Lopez to clinch a silver in the compound women’s individual section.
The 25-year-old Indian was at her best and shot a perfect final end of 30 but the five-time World Cup champion Sara was superior through the final to clinch the issue by two points (146-144).

For Jyothi, this was her third silver medal at the 2021 World Championships. She has taken her total number of medals to six at the World Championships overall. Jyothi had bagged a team silver (Mexico 2017) and a team bronze (Den Bosch 2019) previously. In 2019, she had also bagged an individual bronze medal.
In the quarterfinal on Saturday, Jyothi shot a perfect 150 out of 150 in her win against junior world champion Amanda Mlinaric.
“It’s been a great day today because I’ve shot my first 150 in an international tournament and I’m super happy....
