Shooter Sift Kaur Samra finished fifth in the 50m rifle 3 positions at the ISSF World Championship in Baku, Azerbaijan, but that was enough for her to secure a Paris Olympics quota for India.
Shooting: Sift Kaur Samra obtains Paris Olympic quota for India

Since four of the eight women who made the finals of the event had already secured Olympic quotas from previous qualifying events, Sift Kaur Samra secured the quota spot for the country by making the cut for the medal round.

It was India’s sixth quota in shooting but it was the first in the women’s 50m rifle 3 positions event. A country can only obtain a maximum of two quotas in each individual event. Akhil Sheoran ( 50m rifle 3 positions) and Mehuli Ghosh ( 10m air rifle) had secured Olympic quotas for India at the Baku meet earlier.
