Bhawna and Pooja and Adil Mohamed Nazir Ansari and Swati Chaudhary added the two silver medals.

The Logical Indian’s Perspective
India’s seven-medal performance at the World Archery Para Series Stage III includes podium finishes across compound, recurve and W1 events. The Ahmedabad stage saw Indian archers secure medals through both team and individual performances, with Swati Chaudhary contributing three medals to the overall tally.
The supplied material describes Ahmedabad as a historic home stage and says it is both a podium story and a test of how far para archery can grow on home ground. How can India build on performances like these to provide more opportunities for para archers across the country?
