Esha Singh and Varun Tomar won the Olympic quota with gold medals in the men’s and women’s air pistol in the Asian shooting championship in Jakarta on Monday.

Indian shooting took its tally to 15 Olympic quota places for the Paris Games. It was the second Olympic quota in men’s air pistol, and the first in women’s air pistol.

Esha, who had won four medals in the Asian Games, was in irrepressible form as she outclassed the field, wining the gold with a 6.8 point margin over Kishmala Talat of Pakistan.
