PUNE: An impressive Mehuli Ghosh booked a women's 10m air rifle Paris Olympics quota for India by winning a bronze medal at the ISSF World Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan, on Saturday. Mehuli, 22, topped the qualification round by scoring 634.5 to advance to the final.
Mehuli scored 229.8 in the 8-woman final to finish third. Another Indian, 15-year-old Tilottama Sen, finished fourth with 208.4. Although there were four quota places on offer, as per the new rule, only one shooter from one country can win a quota at the Worlds. Hence, despite having two shooters in top-4, China and India won one quota place each.
