Olympics ‘FOMO’ behind Prathamesh Jawkar’s swap from compound to recurve archery

The Hindu  

On August 4, 2024, South Korea’s Kim Woo-jin beat USA’s Brady Ellison 6-5 to clinch the gold medal in men’s recurve archery at the Paris Olympics. When I was watching the men’s recurve gold medal match, I decided I really wanted this and I would give up anything to get it,” the 21-year-old told Sportstar on Thursday, after World Archery officially announced his shift. For someone whose target has always been to help India win that elusive medal in archery at the Olympics, the International Olympic Committee’s decision to not include compound in the 2028 Los Angeles Games was a bitter pill to swallow. But moving the other way sends a good signal to all of those archers that they can come back and boost India’s chances to win at the Olympics,” the Dronacharya Awardee told Sportstar.
