AdvertisingThe tug of war between AAI and World Archery on one hand, and between AAI and the Indian Olympic Association as well as the government at home seems to have left the competitors a frustrated lot. However, AAI has decided to send junior archers to the Thai capital, with no international competition for the seniors till the World Cup cycle. Abrol said the first international tournament for the seniors will be the World Cup – Stage I in Shanghai in April. A cursory glance at the World Archery website informs that the first stage in April (22-28) is actually being held in Medellin, Colombia, with the second one in Shanghai to be staged a week later.
