India’s Success in the Asian Shooting Championships

In comparison, China emerged as the leading nation with 76 medals, including 33 gold.

Securing Olympic Quotas

India’s successful outing at the championship also meant the acquisition of valuable Olympic quotas. Notable Indian shooters such as Shriyanka Sadangi, Anish Bhanwala, Manu Bhaker, Arjun Babuta, Tilottama Sen, and Sarabjot Singh secured Paris Olympics quotas, contributing to India’s overall tally of 13 Olympic quotas in shooting for the Paris 2024 Olympics.

The Road to Paris 2024

While securing an Olympic quota is a significant achievement, the ultimate decision on athlete participation at the Paris Games lies with the respective National Olympic Committees (NOCs). Athletes who have secured quotas for India will eagerly await their NOCs’ selections for representation at Paris 2024. To incentivize these athletes further, the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) has announced a bonus point in the national trials scheduled for the next year.
