Samaresh bags Olympic quota place

New Delhi: Samaresh Jung grabbed an Olympic quota place in the fourth and final ISSF World Cup at Munich, Germany on Wednesday.

Samaresh fired a total of 682.1 to finish fourth in the men's 10 metres air pistol final after a tie shoot, becoming the first-ever Indian to bag an Olympic quota in men's pistol shooting competition.

He fired 584 in the qualification and 98.1 in the final round.

However, Tejaswini Sawant was not lucky enough to hit the bull's eye as she missed the quota in the women's rifle three position event by just one point. Tejaswini shot a total of 580 (prone 195, standing 192 and kneeling 193) to finish ninth among 97 shooters. — PTI
