Esha's 590, combined with Manu Bhaker's 587 and Divya Subbaraju's 584, gave India an aggregate of 1,761. South Korea took silver with 1,748 and Vietnam claimed bronze with 1,745.

The 21-year-old Esha finished third in the individual qualification standings, behind Germany's Doreen Vennekamp, who topped the field with 592, and Hungary's Veronika Major, who shot 591. That put Esha into the eight-shooter individual final.

Double Olympic medallist Manu Bhaker also made the final, finishing sixth with 587. After a modest 289 in the Precision round, she put together series of 99, 99 and 100 in the Rapid round to secure her place.

Two Indians in the final, Olympic quotas in play

With both Esha and Manu in the individual final, India has two chances to add a medal and a quota place for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. According to the reports, the three medallists in the individual event will earn quota places for their countries.
