Live streaming, ISSF Olympic Shotgun Qualification Championship 2024: Indian shooters take aim for four Paris quotas - where to watch
India can obtain one shotgun quota each in women’s and men’s skeet and trap events from Doha. Watch live.
The ISSF Final Olympic Qualification Championship 2024 for shotgun shooters gets underway in the Qatari capital of Doha from Friday.
A total of 12 Indian shooters will be aiming to secure quotas at the Paris 2024 Olympic qualifying event.
The top two shooters in each individual event (maximum one per country), provided they are eligible and their respective countries haven’t secured their full allocation for the event, will secure quotas from Rio.
Each country can obtain a maximum of 24 quotas in shooting for the Paris Olympics, with eight available in rifle and as many in pistol and shotgun events. Indian shooters, so far, have already secured their full allocation in rifle and pistol events.
However, shotgun shooters have only managed four so far, courtesy Bhowneesh Mendiratta (men’s trap), Rajeshwari Kumari (women’s trap), Raiza Dhillon (women’s skeet) and Anantjeet Singh Naruka (men’s skeet).
Each country can obtain a maximum of two quotas in each category, which means India can still secure four more shotgun shooting quotas - one each in men’s trap and skeet and as many in women’s trap and skeet.
India will be fielding three shooters in each category. The top two shooters in each individual event (maximum one per country), provided they are eligible and their respective countries haven’t secured their full allocation for the event, will secure quotas from Doha.
Tokyo Olympians Mairaj Ahmad Khan and Angadvir Singh Bajwa, also a former Asian champion, will front India’s challenge in men’s skeet, along with Sheeraz Sheikh. Ganemat Sekhon will be the one to watch out for in the women’s event.
The experienced Vivaan Kapoor, Zoravar Singh Sandhu and Prithviraj Tondaiman will form a strong three-way challenge in men’s trap while Manisha Keer and Shreyasi Singh will carry India’s hopes in women’s skeet.
Irrespective of how the contingent fares in Doha, India will be sending their largest-ever Olympic shooting contingent to Paris 2024, eclipsing the 15 from Tokyo 2020.
