All eyes will be on Ruman Shana and Diya Siddique when they play the final in the recurve mixed team event of the ongoing Archery World Cup stage two at Lausanne in Switzerland on Sunday.
The pair created a new history on Thursday when they became the first Bangladeshi archers to qualify in the final of an Archery World Cup and now the stake is even bigger as they can give Bangladesh the taste of winning their first gold medal in a World Cup event.

Bangladesh’s archery poster boy Ruman Shana displayed a disappointing performance in the recently concluded Victory Day Archery at Shaheed Ahsan Ullah Master Stadium in Tongi this month. Shana failed to secure a notable position in any of the two events of competition namely singles and mixed doubles.
Archery returned to the field with this three-day meet after a long 11-month break. Shana missed the bronze in recurve men singles after conceding 0-6 set points defeat to Md Tamimul Islam after losing to 2-6 set points defeat to Abdur Rahman Alif in the semifinal. The misfortune also followed him in recurve mixed doubles. The pair of Shana-Mehenaz Akter Monira conceded a 4-5 set defeat to the pair of Pradipta Chakma and Dia Siddiqi in the bronze medal match.
