ISSF Final Olympic Qualification Championship: India’s Maheshwari Chauhan won a silver medal in the Women’s Skeet competition on the concluding day of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) Final Olympic Qualification Championship Shotgun at the Lusail Shooting range in Doha, and with that a 21st quota place for India in shooting competitions at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Maheshwari went down to Chile’s Francisca Crovetto Chadid 3-4 in a shoot-off for gold after both were tied at 54 hits in the 60-shot final. It was a brilliant performance given it was the first-ever ISSF final for the shooter from Jalore. Her performance also brought India their second Paris quota place in women’s Skeet.

“I am thrilled. There has been a lot of hard work over the years to get here. I am a bit bummed about the shoot-off, but overall, it has been very satisfying,” said Maheshwari after the final.
