Another Indian youngster, Bhawna, enjoyed a memorable tournament by winning three gold medals.

The 21-year-old, who also completed a triple-gold sweep in Bangkok, edged compatriot and Paralympian . Pooja in a shoot-off to claim the recurve women’s individual title after the pair had combined to win recurve women’s team gold against Brazil.

Bhawna also teamed up with Paralympic Champion Harvinder Singh to secure recurve mixed team gold with a 6-2 victory over Indonesia.

Singh added another medal by finishing runner-up to Italy’s Stefano Travisani in the recurve men’s individual final before partnering Vijay Sundi to victory in the recurve men’s team event with a 6-2 win over Ukraine.

USA Paralympic Champion Jason Tabansky returned to the top of the podium in W1 men. Seeded sixth, the world number one defeated top seed Maurizio Panella of Italy 6-2 to bounce back from his runner-up finish at the opening stage in Bangkok.

Host nation Czechia also celebrated success through world number one Sarka Pultar Musilova, who maintained her unbeaten run by defeating Korea’s Lee Eunhee 7-1 to retain the W1 women’s title.

The reigning world para champion also claimed W1 women’s team gold with Tereza Brandtlova and mixed team gold alongside David Drahoninsky to complete her own triple-gold campaign.

In the visually impaired category, Cyprus’s top seed Christos Misos repeated his victory over Belgium’s Ruben Vanhollebeke from the 2025 World Archery Para Championships final, winning 6-0 to claim the VI1 title.

The 2026 Hyundai World Archery Para Series now heads to Ahmedabad, India, for stage three, scheduled from 5-9 September.
