India Win First-Ever Men's Compound Team Gold at the 2025 World Championships

Two points. That's all that separated India's men's compound team from France in the Gwangju final — 235 to 233 — and it was enough for a piece of history: the country's first men's compound team world title. Rishabh Yadav, Aman Saini and Prathamesh Fuge closed it out at a championships that drew 500 athletes from 75 countries.

The mixed team nearly made it two. India dropped that final 157–155 to the Netherlands and settled for silver, which stings more than usual here — compound mixed team is exactly the event making its Olympic debut at LA28.

Put the two results side by side and the message is hard to miss. India has turned itself into a compound powerhouse at precisely the moment the discipline steps onto the Olympic stage.
