New Delhi, Nov. 13 -- Vivaan Kapoor delivered a stellar performance, holding his own against some of the biggest names in trap shooting to secure India's third 2028 LA Olympics shooting quota at the ISSF World Championships in Doha. The 24-year-old was on a hot streak but narrowly missed the gold medal, losing a tense shoot-off to Kuwait's Abdulrahman Al-Faihan after both shooters were tied at 29 hits out of 30. Vivaan blinked in the shoot-off first after hitting the target twice, while Al-Faihan registered three successful hits to take gold, much to the delight of the home crowd. China's Qi Ying won the bronze medal with 22 hits. The three medallists from Kuwait, India and China thus secured the LA Olympic quota places. The quotas belong to the country. On Thursday, competing in his first-ever final at the World Championships, Vivaan showed little sign of nerves. "I gave my best. It was a tough final and I wanted to focus on my job. I have competed against these shooters before and that experience helped. A big thanks to coach Peter (Wilson) for guiding us before the competition. In the end, I was flowing," the Jaipur-based shooter told the ISSF. "It's great that the silver medal came along with the Olympic quota for the country," said Vivaan, only the fourth Indian trap shooter to win a medal at the World Championships. It was India's third Olympic quota at the World Championships, after Jaypal Malviya (10m air pistol) and Niraj Kumar (50m rifle three positions). There were disappointments too. Double Olympic medallist Manu Bhaker qualified for two finals but failed to secure a quota place. She came agonisingly close in the 25m pistol, finishing fourth. This was the first ISSF event offering Olympic quotas. Earlier on Thursday, India's two trap shooters, Vivaan and Udaivir Singh Jaijee, qualified for the final from a strong field of 122 competitors. In the company of Olympic and World Championships medallists, Vivaan, a former Asian junior champion competing in a major final for the first time, shot as if he belonged. He was on target from the start, with his first and only miss coming on his 28th shot....
