The Archery World Cup in Antalya will be a qualifying event for the Paris 2024 Olympics and India is yet to secure a direct quota in women’s recurve archery.
India’s top compound archers Jyothi Surekha Vennam, Aditi Swami and Abhishek Verma, all Asian Games gold medallists, have also given the Suwon meet a miss.
Compound archer Kushal Dalal, who won the men’s team gold and individual silver in Baghdad, is the only Indian archer returning to compete at stage-3.
A total of 158 archers from 18 countries, including 81 men and 77 women, are expected to compete at the Suwon leg of the Asia Cup 2024.
India clinched 14 medals – nine gold, four silver and one bronze – at the first stage in Baghdad in February. The second stage was scheduled to be held in Thailand but was cancelled.
The third stage of the Asia Cup, to be held at the Suwon World Cup Stadium, will conclude on June 9.
