India on Thursday (August 1) won its third medal at the ongoing Paris Olympics 2024 as shooter Swapnil Kusale won the bronze medal in the 50 metre rifle 3 positions men’s final in Chatearoux, France.

So far, all three medals for India have come from shooting and all of them are bronze.

In the team event for 50m rifle 3 positions during the Asian Games in Hangzhou last year, Kusale and Aishwary Tomar, along with Akhil Sheoran, had won the gold medal.

Kusale, who trains under Tejaswini Sawant in Kolhapur, had finished fourth in the Asian Games last year in 50m rifle 3 positions.
