  "account": "Indian compound archer Ganesh Mani Ratnam Thirumuru secured a bronze medal in the men's individual event at the Asian Games 2026 in Nagoya on Thursday. The archer won the bronze medal playoff against Vietnam's Cong Duc Dang with a score of 149-144. This victory came after Ganesh's disappointing semifinal loss to South Korea's Kim Jongho, which prevented him from winning gold or silver in the compound men's individual event. Earlier in the day, Ganesh had defeated Chieh-Lun Chen of Chinese Taipei 148-138 in the quarterfinals. Ganesh, who participated in the gold-winning men's team event on Wednesday, shot a flawless 14 out of 15 arrows during the playoff.",
