Iran’s Haniyeh Rostamiyan finished second, spoiling a Chinese clean sweep as the shooting sport powerhouse took all the spots from one to four.

But China could claim only one Paris quota spot and Haniyeh had already secured one earlier, so Manu, despite finishing fifth, clinched a Paris berth for India. Manu fought brilliantly and was in contention for a top-two finish for most of the contest before a score of two and three in the seventh and eighth series saw her go into a shoot-off with Zhao Nan of China for fourth position.
