2024 Olympics: Palak Bags 20th Paris Quota Place For India In Shooting
ISSF Final Olympic Qualification Championship: Reigning Asian Games champion Palak bagged India’s 20th Paris Olympic quota place in shooting, winning bronze in the women’s 10m air pistol at the ISSF Final Olympic Qualification Championship Rifle/Pistol in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil on Sunday.
The teenager overcame a wobbly start in the 24-shot final, displaying nerves of steel to climb steadily up the leaderboard and eventually end with 217.6, bowing out after the 22nd shot. Armenia’s Elmira Karapetyan won gold, while Thai teenager Kamonlak Saencha won silver and the second available quota place.
Palak and Sainyam had qualified for the eight-woman final on Saturday. Save Karpetyan, who had already booked her quota in earlier competitions, all other finalists could claim the available quotas.
