Tilottama Sen, Arjun Babuta clinch two more Paris quota places for India

She had qualified in fourth place with a score of 630.5. Tilottama top things up a notch to shoot 252.3 in the final and win a silver and a quota.

Another Paris Olympics quota came for India in men's air rifle event, with Arjun Babuta too clinching a silver medal. Showing remarkable form, Arjun first topped the qualification with a high score of 633.4 points and then gave a tough fight to Tokyo Olympics silver medallist Sheng Lihao of China, eventually winning a silver medal. (251.2 points) Lihao won gold with 252.1 points.

Missing the gold medal would not hurt Arjun that much, since the 24-year-old been has been eyeing an Olympic quota for a long time and has consistently shot impressive scores in the last one year. Having won a gold medal in Changwon World Cup last year, Arjun had happy memories of the place. It showed in his shooting too.
