Asian Para Games: Sheetal and Payal secure silver in compound archery | Asian Games 2026

The teenage Indian pair of Sheetal Devi and Payal Nag clinched a silver medal after losing the compound women’s doubles final at the Asian Para Games here on Wednesday.

Sheetal, who was born without arms, and Payal, a quadruple amputee, went down 141-150 to the Chinese duo of Xu Xueqing and Zhao Jing.

Payal and Sheetal, both 19, were not really able to match their Chinese opponents, playing catch-up throughout the match.

Sheetal had won a silver medal in this event in the last edition of the Games as well, partnering Sarita Devi.
