Archer Vennam Jyothi Surekha was disappointed at being ignored for the prestigious Major Dhyan Chan Khel Ratna award.

The 25-year-old Jyothi, who won three silver medals at the recent world championships, defeated South Korea's Oh Yoohyun 146-145 in an intense final that went down to the wire, taking the top spot on the podium.

After winning the silver medals in the Compound team and mixed events, Surekha lost to the Columbian giant and World No.1 Sara Lopez 144-146 in the 15-arrow final.
