Jaypal Malviya secured India's first quota in shooting for 2028 Los Angeles Olympics by winning silver medal in the men's 10m air pistol event at the 2026 ISSF World Championships on Thursday.
Malviya shot 242.2 in the eight-man final to finish second and earn the coveted first Los Angeles Olympics quota for the country.
China's Hu Kai won gold with 243.9, while Czechia's Jindrich Dubovy bagged bronze with 220.9.
Earlier, Malviya entered the final of the men's 10m air pistol competition in third place after shooting 585 across six series in the qualification.
While commendable, Malviya's silver medal was a downgrade for India in the larger scheme of things with Samrat Rana having won the gold medal in the previous edition of the ISSF World Championships in men's 10m air pistol.
