Chengdu, Aug. 8 -- India's Madhura Dhamangaonkar and Abhishek Verma crashed out in the quarter-finals of the mixed team compound archery event at the World Games 2025 in Chengdu.

The Indian pair surrendered to a defeat against the Republic of Korea's Moon Yeeun and Lee Eun Ho by a 154-151 scoreline, in the mixed team compound category. This event will make its Olympic debut at LA 2028.

In a closely contested contest, the Indians trail 38-37 after the opening game. The South Koreans upped the ante and opened up a four-point lead in the second with a perfect 40 in response to another 37 from the Indian duo. The Indian archers continued their pursuit to reduce the four-point deficit in the final two rounds, but failed to conjure a way.
