World Championship triple silver medallist Jyothi Surekha Vennam overcame the mighty Korean challenge twice, including in a gripping but controversial final, to win the women’s compound individual gold at the Asian Archery Championships here on Thursday.

Fresh from winning three silver medals at the Yankton Worlds in September, Jyothi, 25, defeated 2015 world champion Kim Yunhee 148-143 in a lopsided semi-final, before sealing India’s first gold against Oh Yoohyun with a one-point win (146-145).
