Doha : Ace shooter Tejaswini Sawant on Saturday bagged India's 12th quota in shooting for next year's Tokyo Olympic Games by qualifying for the final of the women's 50m rifle 3 positions event at the ongoing 14th Asian Championships.
Tejaswini earned the Olympic quota after finishing fifth in the qualification with a score of 1171 points. China's Shi Mengyao of China topped the qualifying round with a score of 1178.
Out of the eight finalists, six have already secured their spots for next year's games, paving way for Sawant to earn an Olympic quota.
The 39-year-old will be making her first Olympic appearance provided she is selected in the squad. On Friday, Chinki Yadav had won the 11th quota in the final of women's 25 m rapid pistol event.

Born in Kohlapur, Tejaswini has won many medals, including gold at the World Championship, World Cup and the Commonwealth Games.
