Bhanwala wins rapid fire pistol bronze and Olympic quota

Anish Bhanwala rose above a bunch of Chinese to win the bronze medal and the Olympic quota in 25m rapid fire pistol in the Asian shooting championship in Changwon, Korea, on Monday.

The 21-year-old, who qualified strongly with a 588, missed out on a chance for a better medal as he lost the shoot-off against the eventual silver medallist Dai Yoshioka of Japan. Korea’s Lee Gunhyeok edged out the Japanese by one point for the gold.

It was the 12th Olympic quota for India, and fifth in the ongoing Asian championship after the ones won by Sarabjot Singh, Arjun Babuta, Tilottama Ssen and Manu Bhaker.
