Having crumbled under pressure against hostile Korean and Chinese sides, Indian archers concluded their Asia Cup Stage 3 campaign in fifth spot in the medal standings on Saturday after losing all their six summit clashes. India finished with seven medals, six silver and one bronze.


The archery powerhouse Korea accounted for four gold, one silver and two bronze medals to top the medal standings. China finished second with four gold and three bronze medals.


India began the day going down to Korea by two points (232-234) in the compound women's team final.


From a four-point deficit in the first end, the trio of Sakshi Chaudhary, Pragati and Deepika bounced back to make it 175-176.

But in the final end, one of the Indians shot an wayward 8 to slip further as the Korean team sealed the issue.

The compound men's team followed suit as they lost out from being 59-all to go down 235-238.

In the men's recurve final, India lost to China 1-5.

Parth Salunkhe conceded his men's recurve gold medal match to Qi Xiangshuo of China 2-6.
