India’s First 2024 Olympics Quota Place In Shooting

Bhowneesh Mendiratta Earns India’s First 2024 Olympics Quota Place In Shooting

Bhowneesh Mendiratta earned India’s first 2024 Paris Olympics quota place in shooting, after he finished a commendable fourth in the men’s trap competition at the ongoing ISSF Shotgun World Championship in Osijek, Croatia. Bhowneesh missed a world championship medal narrowly in the process, being the first to bow out with 13 out of the first 15 hits in the 35-shot medal match. There were four quota places each up for grabs in both the men’s and women’s trap event on the day.

The 23-year-old world number 144 (before the final) from Faridabad, however, secured the Paris Olympics quota for the country after he topped the second ranking round match with a brilliant 24 out of 25 hits.

It was an excellent effort from the Indian youngster, whose only senior medal at the world stage before this was a Team silver at the Changwon World Cup earlier in the year.
