Archana&rsquo;s consistent good performances abroad have brought the desired results, including keeping her in the hot seat for gaining better rankings in the future, on her maiden appearance in the U-18 category abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Archana, who began with a bronze medal at the Spanish Junior event in the first week of May, added two gold medals (team and singles) to her kitty by the end of the month at Prague to make a mark on her world tour events.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier last month, she was bestowed with the Ekalavya, Karnataka&rsquo;s highest sports award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-19795\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/soumyajit-ghosh-26.jpg\" width=\"260\" height=\"157\" alt=\"soumyajit ghosh 26\" style=\"margin-right: 8px;
