With a fourth-place finish at the ISSF World Cup in Munich on Wednesday, Indian shooter Manu Bhaker has sealed a quota for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and secured India's seventh quota at the Olympics.

Even though she missed out on a medal in the event earlier, however, Bhaker's score of 201.0 was sufficient to book her place at the sporting mega event.

It may be mentioned here that Bhaker finished third in qualification after shooting 582 points. 98 of the points came in her last two rounds.

It is worth mentioning here that apart from Bhaker, other shooters who have won an Olympic berth include Rahi Sarnobat, Anjum Moudgil, Apurvi Chandela, Saurabh Chaudhary, Abhishek Verma and Divyansh Singh Panwar.
