Delhi lad Priyansh shot well under pressure to emerge as the compound men’s individual champion in the National archery championships at the M.A. Stadium in Jammu on Saturday.
The 19-year-old, placed 20th in the rankings with 696, beat a formidable Prathamesh Fuge 150-149 in the semifinals and got the better of C. Srither in the final via a sensational shoot-off.
Priyansh and Srither scored an identical 144. Both hit the ‘X’ in the shoot-off, but Priyansh was declared the winner as his arrow was closer to the centre.
