HÀ NỘI Lê Thị Mộng Tuyền has earned Việt Nam’s fourth ticket to the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics following her excellent performance at the Asian Rifle/Pistol Championship 2024 which is being held in Indonesia from January 7-17.

The coaching staff said on January 10 that gaining 125.9 points in the finale and ranking fourth in the women’s 10-metre air pistol event, Tuyền, born in 2003, was qualified to attend the Olympics.

On January 9, markspersons Phạm Quang Huy and Trịnh Thu Vinh won a gold medal in the 10-metre air pistol mixed team event. However, this does not count as an Olympic qualifier.

Earlier, Vinh won a slot at the Olympics as she achieved a high result at the 53rd ISSF World Shooting Championships in Azerbaijan in August 2023.
