Raiza and Anant’s efforts got them quotas against their name, Indian Shooting’s 18th and 19th respectively for the Paris Games, as they also went on to win the team gold and bronze in the events. Maheshwari Chauhan, one of three Indians in the women’s skeet final, also won an individual bronze to add icing to the cake.

The two individual quotas in men’s and women’s skeet also provided an additional start for India in the Mixed Skeet Olympic event in Paris. The Indian Shooting squad will now have a record minimum 19 quota places and 23 starts at the Summer Olympic Games.
