Amravati, Oct. 3 -- Following his daughter's historic gold medal win at the Asian Games, archer Kumkum Mohod's father, Anil, expressed happiness at her win, saying that it was her dream to win an individual gold on the big stage and that his personal manifestation of that dream as a father came true.

Indian teenager archer Kumkum scripted history at the Asian Games 2026 on Saturday, winning India's first individual women's recurve gold medal after edging South Korea's Oh Yejin in a dramatic shoot-off. The 17-year-old prevailed 6-5 after the final was tied at 5-5 following five sets. With the gold medal decided by a single arrow, Oh shot an 8 before Kumkum held her nerve to land a perfect 10 and seal the title, according to ESPN.
