India`s campaign in the ongoing Archery World Cup Stage 1 ended on a disappointing note after their men`s recurve team fell agonisingly behind before an upbeat Korean side on Thursday. The Indian trio of Dhiraj Bommadevara, Atanu Das, and Neeraj Chauhan suffered a lopsided 0-6 (54-55, 56-57, 54-59) defeat at the hands of the top-seeded Korean team of Lee Woo Seok, Kim Je Deok and Kim Woojin.

The eighth-seeded Indian men`s recurve team began its campaign with a hard-fought 5-3 (57-57, 56-58, 57-56, 58-51) win over Chinese Taipei.
