Indian men's recurve archers went down fighting against Korea in the final of the World Cup Stage II at Medellin, Columbia, on Monday.
The Indian team of Atanu Das, Thupuvoyi Swuro and Sanjay Boro fought gallantly to go down in the tiebreak and claim the silver medal.
The Indian mixed team of Das and Laishram Bombayla Devi won the bronze medal by beating their Mexican rivals. The Korean side began strongly winning the first two sets to go 4-0 up.
But that could not dishearten the young Indian archers who fought back hard to level the scores at 4-4 by winning the next two sets.
The world champions won the first set 58-52 and the second one 58-57 in the six-arrow contests.
The Indian women's badminton team led by Saina Nehwal made their entry in to the Uber Cup quarterfinals for the first time since 2010 but the men had to bite the dust as they were knocked out of the Thomas Cup here Monday.
The women won their tie against Hong Kong 4-1 but the men lost 2-3 to South Korea at the Siri Fort Sports Complex
