New Delhi: Swapnil Kusale clinched India’s third medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Thursday. A railway ticket collector, Kusale clinched bronze in the Men’s 50m Rifle 3 Positions event with a score of 451.4.
Kusale shot an aggregate of 451.4 in the eight-shooter final to finish third after being placed sixth at one stage.
All three medals so far for India have come in shooting events.
The last time a 50m rifle shooter made it to the Olympic finals was in 2012 London when Joydeep Karmakar finished fourth in the 50m rifle prone event, a discipline which has been discontinued at the Olympics.
The 29-year-old from Kambalwadi village near Kolhapur in Maharashtra has been competing in international events since 2012 but he had to wait another 12 years to make his Olympics debut at the Paris Games.
