<p>Madhura Dhamangaonkar staged a dramatic comeback to clinch her maiden individual World Cup gold to headline India&rsquo;s glittering medal collection in the compound section &mdash; two golds, one silver and two bronze medals &mdash; at the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/other-sports/article/indias-compound-archers-dominate-archery-23536483" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Archery World Cup</strong></a> Stage Two here on Saturday.</p>
<p>Dhamangaonkar produced a sensational display in the final, edging out USA&rsquo;s Carson Krahe 139-138 to win the gold medal.</p>
<h2>Topsy-turvy start</h2>
<p>The unranked Indian opened with a perfect 30, including two Xs, but faltered with two 8s in the second end and a costly 7 in the third, trailing her opponent 81-85.<br />Krahe, ranked 52nd and a World Cup team bronze medallist last year, capitalised with a perfect 30 in the third end.</p>
<p>Undeterred, Madhura showed nerves of steel, shooting a near-flawless 29 in the fourth to level the match at 110-all.</p>
<h2>Dramatic end</h2>
<p>In the decisive final end, she fired two Xs and a 9, while Krahe managed only 28, sealing Dhamangaonkar&rsquo;s dramatic one-point win.</p>
<p>In the women&rsquo;s team final, Dhamangaonkar partnered with Jyothi Surekha Vennam and Chikitha Taniparthi to take silver after a 221-234 loss to a strong Mexican outfit.<br />Earlier, the men&rsquo;s team bagged a gold medal as the trio of Abhishek Verma, Ojas Deotale, and Rishabh Yadav defeated Mexico 232-228 in a tense final.</p>
<p>Yadav had also won an individual bronze medal on Friday after being defeated by Dutch World No.1 Mike Schloesser 144-147. India also won a mixed team bronze when Dhamangaonkar teamed up with Yadav to down Malaysia 144-142.</p>
