Indian shooter Swapnil Kusale won India’s third Paris 2024 Olympics quota place at the ongoing ISSF World Championship in Cairo, Egypt.
It was Kusale's fourth-place finish in the men's 50 meter rifle 3 positions event that earned him the quota.
He is also an ISSF World Cup gold medalist.
India's first Paris quota in shooting was won by Bhowneesh Mendiratta in the men's trap event at the Shotgun World Championship in Osijek, Croatia, which preceded the rifle/pistol worlds.
India’s tally from the World Championship now stands at 32 medals, including 12 gold, eight silver and 12 bronze medals and they remain firmly in second place behind China in the standings.
