Maheshwari Chauhan
India’s Maheshwari Chauhan shot two perfect rounds of 25 to head into the final day of the women’s skeet competition on the top spot at ISSF Olympic Qualification Championship for shotgun shooters, in Doha on Saturday.
The top six qualify for the finals on Sunday, which will follow one final round of qualification. There are two Paris Olympic quota places up for grabs in the event.
Maheshwari’s two-day tally of 98, which includes three perfect rounds, was one more than three others, notably Francisca Chadid (already a quota winner) of Chile, the dangerous Assem Orynbay of Kazakhstan and Victoria Larsson of Sweden.
