Rhine-Ruhr: India’s campaign at the 32nd FISU Summer World University Games, held from July 16 to 27 in the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region of Germany, ended with a total of 12 medals - two gold, five silver and five bronze.
Around 300 Indian athletes competed in 3x3 basketball, archery, athletics, badminton, basketball, beach volleyball, fencing, judo, rowing, swimming, table tennis, taekwondo, tennis and volleyball.
The country finished well short of its best-ever performance of 26 medals - 11 gold, five silver and 10 bronze - from the previous edition held in Chengdu in 2021.
Archery and athletics both produced five medals each. Amidst quite a few near-misses, archers Sahil Rajesh Jadhav (men’s individual compound), and Parneet Kaur and Kushal Dalal (mixed team compound) grabbed the only two gold medals. Parneet had a full set as she won a silver in the individual event and a bronze in the women’s team competition. Agencies
