Just enjoy and shoot: Pagni's tip to archers

Two-time Archery World Cup Final winner Sergio Pagni said the Indian compound teams should not get bogged down by expectation and enjoy shooting when they face South Korea in the finals on Tuesday at the 18th Asian Games.

Both the Indian men's and women's compound team will be under pressure after the country failed to win any medal in the recurve section, in a repeat of their Incheon Asiad flop show.

Asian giants Korea are standing in the way of both men's and women's teams in the compound finals on  Tuesday and Pagni, who coached the Indian compound archers in the build-up to the Asian Games, says it's about living in the moment.

"Maybe the statistics are in favour of Korea, but India have a very good balance between young and experienced hands. They can do very well," the 39-year-old said from Legnica on the sidelines of day one of the European Archery Championships.

The men's compound team are the defending champions in the ongoing Asian Games with Abhishek Verma and Rajat Chauhan being the two members of the gold-medal winning trio in Incheon.

The women's compound team, on the other hand, are currently world number one.
