Sahil Jadhav won a bronze medal in the men’s individual compound event at the Archery World Cup 2026 Stage 2 in Shanghai, China, on Saturday.

The 25-year-old Maharashtra archer defeated Denmark veteran player-cum-coach Martin Damsbo 147-144 in the bronze medal playoff to secure India’s first medal of the ongoing tournament. India won five compound medals in Shanghai last year.

India will now look to add two more medals on the concluding day on Sunday in the recurve section. The women’s team will compete for gold, while Simranjeet Kaur will begin her campaign from the semifinals, needing one win to secure her maiden World Cup medal.
