India won all three compound team titles at the Asian Games on September 30, 2026, with the mixed-team victory also securing two country quota places for Los Angeles 2028.
Chikitha Taniparthi and Sahil Rajesh Jadhav finished level with Korea at 157 before winning the shoot-off 20-19. Both Indians hit 10s. The result delivered places for the compound mixed-team event's Olympic debut, although the National Olympic Committee retains authority over the eventual athlete selection.
The other finals demanded different kinds of precision. India's women beat China 238-234, equalling the world record; the men beat China 238-237 after trailing by two points at the opening end.
World Archery's format explains why these margins are significant. Compound team matches add scores across 24 arrows, while mixed teams shoot 16. There is no reset into separately awarded sets: a point lost early remains part of the final deficit unless the opponents subsequently drop points.
The women's 238 was only two below the 240 maximum. The men reached the same total by following their opening 58 with a perfect 180 across the remaining three ends. Identical final totals thus concealed different routes through the match.
The mixed final required another test after regulation scoring could not separate the teams. Each archer shoots once in a team tie-break, concentrating the deciding score into a much shorter contest. India's two 10s left Korea no room to win on total without matching that maximum.
