Jaypal Malviya won silver in the men's 10m air pistol at the ISSF World Championship, giving India its first shooting quota for the LA 2028 Olympics.

Malviya scored 242.2. China's Hu Kai took gold with 243.9 and Dubovy won bronze with 220.9.

The quota came on 5 November, two days after the championship opened in Lusail, Doha. Events run until 13 November.

This is the first qualification event for LA 2028. It offers 36 quota places, three in each of the 12 events.

The quota belongs to India's National Olympic Committee, which will decide which shooter takes the place at the Games.

India had already won gold in the men's 50m pistol team event on the opening day, 3 November, plus a silver in a women's rifle event.

Manu Bhaker leads India's 54-member squad. She and Suruchi Phogat reached the women's 10m air pistol final, scoring 583 and 580 out of 600.

The 10m air pistol mixed team event, with two Indian pairs entered, did not bring a quota.

In skeet on 6 November, Mairaj Ahmad Khan finished 46th of 113 with 118 out of 125. The men's team placed sixth.
