India isn't too bad at recurve this year. I don't expect golds but medals are quite possible. We have been shooting competitively in the 2024 World Cup circuit with both Korea and China present in force repeatedly. Of the Olympic events, this is our record on the 2024 cup circuit after three rounds:
Men's Singles
1x bronze : Dheeraj Bommadevara
On par with any country not named South Korea
Men's Team
1x gold: Dheeraj, Tarundeep Rai, Pravin Jhadav
South Korea got the other two golds.
Women's Singles
1x silver : Deepika Kumari
Chinese and Koreans dominate here, Deepika is the best of the rest.
Women's Team
No medals
Mixed Team
2x bronze
We have bench strength in mens and mixed teams, but less so in women's. The is the converse of compound where we have the best women's team in the world.
Deepika needs to overcome here demons from the last Olympics but she's been mentally stronger since then. Dheeraj is really good in crunch moments and a medal would be a just return for his abilities.
Overall, this year's world cup is by a distance India's best ever, and there's still one more round left. The medals, especially higher ones, are heavily in compound.
Recurve: 1G 1S 3B
Compound 6G 3S 0B
Total 7G 4S 3B
Second position behind South Korea.
