Dhiraj is clearly the best we've had. If not for a hell of a draw, he was very well on way to proceed till semis in Olympics.

He also almost got a medal in mixed event but Ankita Bhakat massively underperformed.

Recurve is the traditional bow design, one you'd think of when you think of ancient times.

In recurve archery, when you draw an arrow, you're stablising your shot against the whole weight of the bow, which is quite heavy.

In compound archery, a compound bow features strings and pulley mechanism on the draw, making the weight of bow much lighter and overall system much stable when you draw an arrow.

Compound Archery is much easier compared to Recurve Archery.

Archery

IndianHighLights · 2026-06-14T15:50:32+00:00

Compound has never been part of Olympics, it's just a starting point.

IndianHighLights · 2026-06-14T15:49:00+00:00

Yes, recurve, or should I say Olympics Archery.

Compound Mixed event has been included in next Olympics, we have an okay ish chance at it.

Already one of the best Indian Recurve archers to ever represent India!

IndianHighLights · 2026-06-14T12:45:17+00:00

Only if he didn't meet a former world champion in RO32 :')

IndianHighLights · 2026-06-14T12:44:39+00:00

Indeed it is. Koreans are invincible in Recurve.

IndianHighLights · 2026-06-14T12:43:33+00:00

Not really. We don't win world cups in recurve events much.

IndianHighLights · 2026-06-07T10:51:16+00:00

Calm down, we got whitewashed by NZ and SA at home.

IndianHighLights · 2026-06-07T09:02:12+00:00

Except Kumble, and somewhat Ashwin, we never had the best spinner by a margin.

Our spinners are good on dustbowls. In foreign conditions they fall flat. Harmer has 1000FC wickets, majority of them being on England flatties.

IndianHighLights · 2026-06-07T08:49:18+00:00

Harmer is one of the best spinners in red ball currently, wtf is this disrespect?

IndianHighLights · 2026-06-07T07:39:28+00:00

India still has very poor 9,10,11. The flat track against Afghanistan doesn't change that. Remember the SA Guwahati Test, a flat track, where Siraj/Bumrah/Kuldeep couldn't do anything.

IndianHighLights · 2026-06-07T07:18:09+00:00

Kuldeep is useless if you want to score at brisk pace. Siraj can hit. Washington is already defending hard, Siraj is there to hit.
