Anush Agarwalla seals Paris Olympics berth in equestrian

The Equestrian Federation of India (EFI) confirmed that Anush Agarwalla, a medallist at the Asian Games, has secured a Paris Olympics quota for the country in the dressage discipline.

Agarwalla, who clinched a groundbreaking individual bronze in dressage at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, earned the quota based on his impressive performances in four FEI events: Wroclaw, Poland (73.485%), Kronenberg, Netherlands (74.4%), Frankfurt, Germany (72.9%), and Mechelen, Belgium (74.2%). The quota is allocated to the nation, and the EFI will organize a final trial to determine the Indian representative for the Paris Olympics.

"I am very proud and grateful to have been successful for securing a berth for India at the Paris Olympic Games. Competing in the Olympics has always been a childhood dream for me and I'm proud to be part of this historical moment for the nation," the 24-year-old Agarwalla said in a release.
