Vijayveer Sidhu clinched a 17th Paris Games quota place for India while clinching a silver medal in the men’s 25m rapid-fire event at the Asian Olympic Qualifiers in Jakarta on Saturday. Vijayveer, however, didn’t have to rely on the medal; he earned the quota by qualifying for the final in fourth place with a score of 577. Indian shooters have now secured four Paris Olympics quota places in Jakarta, with Esha Singh (women’s 10m air pistol), Varun Tomar (men’s 10m air pistol), Rhythm Sangwan (women’s 25m sports pistol), and Sidhu.
