Winning gold appears to have turn out to be a behavior for ace girls’s archer V. Jyothi Surekha.
After claiming three yellow metals within the 2023 Asian Games, the 27-year-old scripted one other memorable chapter by clinching three gold medals within the ongoing World Cup in Shanghai on Saturday.
The Vijayawada-based World No. 3 topped the ladies’s particular person, combined occasion (partnering Abhishek Verma) and girls’s group gold (with Aditi Swami and Parneet Kaur).
She now owns an unimaginable eight gold, 4 silver and 7 bronze medals within the World Cups.
“I did not expect to win the individual gold as my performance was not upto the mark. That way, it is a terrific feeling to win three gold,” Surekha advised The Hindu.
“The pre-World Cup expectations were high given the kind of performances we came up with last year, especially in the compound bow category. In that context, winning four gold and a silver in this World Cup is truly something special,” Surekha stated.
Surekha has been within the worldwide circuit for the final 16 years and profitable medals virtually yearly.
Parents’ assist
She retains herself motivated because of the unwavering assist of her mother and father.
“It is a pity that the compound bow category doesn’t figure even in the 2028 Olympics despite all efforts. It hurts a bit but again it is something which is not in our hands,” Surekha stated.
“I always felt that your achievements, and not words, should speak. The hectic schedule sometimes makes me think about taking a break, but the passion for the sport keeps me motivated.”
She added: “I felt good once I emulated Deepika Akka’s feat of profitable three gold in a single World Cup. I dedicate these medals to my mother and father for his or her superb assist.
