Indian archer Neeraj Chauhan wins bronze in the men’s individual recurve archery event at the Asian Games 2026, defeating his compatriot Dhiraj Bommadevara 6-4 in the bronze medal match on Saturday. The match is held at Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Multipurpose Square, with Chauhan securing third place in an all-Indian final for the medal.
Reporting across outlets agrees on the result and match-up, while adding extra scoring and pathway details. Free Press Journal provides a breakdown of Chauhan’s set-by-set scores in the bronze play-off and notes that he becomes only the second Indian male to win an individual recurve medal at the Asian Games after Tarundeep Rai. It also describes earlier rounds for both archers, including Bommadevara’s semifinal loss to Lee Woo Seok and Chauhan’s earlier loss in the semifinals to Junya Nakanishi. Times of India and NDTV focus primarily on the bronze-match outcome.
In all accounts, the key point is Chauhan’s win over Bommadevara to claim the bronze medal in the men’s recurve individual event.
