Paris Olympic Games: Shooter Swapnil Kusale added a third medal to India's tally, winning a bronze medal in the 50m Rifle 3 Positions at the Paris Olympics here on Thursday. The 28-year-old said he kept his breath in control and did not glance at the leaderboard during his final.

Kusale also became the first Indian shooter to win an Olympic medal in the Men's 50m 3 Position event. It was also the third shooting medal in the rifle event after Abhinav Bindra's gold in the 10m air rifle in the Beijing Olympics 2008 and Gagan Narang's bronze in the same event in the London Olympics 2012.

Kusale shot a score of 451.4, to finish behind China's Yukun Liu (gold) and Ukraine's Serhiy Kulish (silver). He had ended seventh in the qualification round with a total score of 590.
