Verma had earlier defeated Russia's Alexander Dambaev 142-139. Not a single Indian compound archer cleared the second round among the women.
Atul Verma and Pravin Ramesh Jadhav were knocked out in the third round of the men’s recurve event by losing to Japan's Oniyama Naoya and Korea's Bae Jaehyeon respectively. Verma was beaten 1-7 while Jadhav lost 4-6 to his Korean opponent. Among the women, Deepika Kumari had entered the fourth round with a win against Elodie Kaczmareck in the third. However, she failed to continue her winning form by losing 6-0 to Chinese Taipei's Tan Ya-Ting.
The Indian men’s recurve team with Atul Verma, Pravin Ramesh Jadhav, and Atanu Das lost in the first round of the stage four World Cup against Canada with a score of 5-1. Bombayla Devi Laishram, Madhu Vedwan, and Deepika Kumari played in the women’s recurve team event and lost the quarter-final 0-6 to Italy.
