India's Priyansh became under-21 world champion in compound archery, as the country's medal tally swelled to nine medals, including five gold in Limerick, Ireland, on Saturday.
Priyansh defeated Aljaz Brenk of Slovenia 147-141 in a one-sided men's U-21 individual final in the ongoing World Archery Youth Championships.
Earlier, Aditi Swami had prevailed over Leann Drake of the USA 142-136 to bag the women's Under-18 title.
Priyansh had an intense opening round where the former Under-18 world champion Brenk levelled the Indian 29-all, shooting two arrows closer to the target.
A composed Priyansh came up with a perfect round of 30 as the Slovenian crumbled under pressure following the promising start in the first end.
From a three-point advantage after the second end, Priyansh went on to build on his lead and was 118-112 ahead before the fifth and final round.
The duo ended as they started, shooting 29 each which was enough for Priyansh to claim the U-21 world title in compound section.
India's hope for a third medal on Saturday evaporated when Avneet Kaur went down to Hallie Boulton of Great Britain in a shoot-off.
After a tied 138-all finish, Hallie edged out the Indian 10-9 in the shoot-off.
India have so far won nine medals that also include one silver and three bronze.
