#WomenInSpotlight: Bhajan Kaur wins Gold, secures archery spot for India at Paris Olympics 2024
India's Bhajan Kaur has secured a historic Olympic quota for the nation in women's individual recurve archery! The teenager clinched the gold medal at the Final World Quota Tournament in Antalya, Turkey, defeating top seed Mobina Fallah of Iran 6-2 in the final.

Bhajan's victory comes after a dominant performance throughout the tournament. She cruised through the early rounds, even blanking her opponent in the quarterfinals. This win not only secures India's quota spot in Paris 2024 but also showcases Bhajan's immense talent and potential.

Ankita Bhakat put up a strong fight, reaching the quarterfinals but ultimately losing to the archer who claimed silver. However, her contribution was crucial in securing the quota for India as the top eight finishers qualified their nations for the Olympics.


This is a momentous occasion for Indian archery, with Bhajan Kaur paving the way for future generations. Remember, final selection for the Paris Games rests with the National Olympic Committee, but Bhajan's performance has undoubtedly cemented her place as a strong contender!
