MEXICO CITY, Oct 26: Deepika Kumari bagged her fourth silver medal in five years at the �Archery World Cup Final� after going down to Korea�s Choi Misun here.

Eyeing her first gold medal in five attempts at the showpiece season-ending event, Deepika won her quarters and semifinals easily but lost 2-6 against the reigning world number one and top-seeded Misun yesterday.
