Idian men's compound archery team of Abhishek Verma, Rajat Chauhan and Aman Saini downed France by one-point (232-231) in a thrilling final to win the gold medal at the World Cup Stage 1 here on Saturday.

This was the men's compound team's first World Cup gold medal since Shanghai 2017. India, however, lost out on a second medal after the compound mixed pair of Verma and Muskan Kirar went down 156-157 to Croatia in the bronze medal playoff.

On Sunday, India's recurve mixed team pair of Tarundeep Rai and Ridhi Phor will be vying for a second gold after having defeated Spain in the semis 5-3.
