Kishmala Talat, a Pakistani shooter has been qualified for the Paris Olympic 2024 after winning a silver medal at the Asian Shooting championship.


Talat 21, is now the first woman shooter and third Pakistani shooter to qualify for the Paris Olympics, after Gulfam Joseph and G.M. Bashir.

 

In a statement on X, Pakistan Olympics Association announced that “Talat ranked second in the Women’s 10m Air Pistol event with a remarkable score of 236.6 points at the Asian Shooting Championship in Jakarta, Indonesia.”


Talat had clinched a bronze medal in the 10 m Air Pistol event at last year’s Asian Games as well, winning Pakistan’s only medal alongside a silver in team squash and a bronze in kabaddi. 


In 2019, Talat wined the silver medal at the South Asian Games.


Talat was among 12 outstanding Pakistani athletes to receive the prestigious IOC scholarship in 2022 in preparation for the Paris Olympics.


“No [Pakistani] girl had ever secured a direct quota to the Olympics in the shooting category, making this a huge and historic achievement,” reported by the Arab News.
