The second stage of the Archery World Cup witnessed commendable performances by Indian compound archers Rishabh Yadav and Madhura Dhamangaonkar, who advanced to the semifinals on Thursday.

Madhura Dhamangaonkar also showcased her skills with a close win against another World Cup star, Jyothi Surekha Vennam. Her journey is poised for further accolades as she prepares to face Turkey's Hazal Burun for a shot at her first World Cup medal.
