Hanoi - Markswoman Trinh Thu Vinh officially won a slot at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics after achieving a high result at the 53rd ISSF World Shooting Championships qualifiers in Azerbaijan on August 17.
According to the Vietnamese shooting team’s coach Hoang Xuan Vinh, 23-year-old Thu Vinh ranked fifth in the women's 10m air pistol event with 579 points, only five points lower than the score of the first-ranking shooter.
As the two athletes ranked above her had previously won tickets to the Olympics, Vinh was eligible to be present at this tournament.
