Trap shooter Shreyasi Singh was officially named as part of the final 21-member Indian shooting squad for the Paris Olympics on Friday, following a quota swap approved by the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF), the governing body of the sport. The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) confirmed her inclusion after receiving permission from the ISSF to reallocate a quota spot, enabling Shreyasi's participation. This decision was prompted by Manu Bhaker securing top positions in both air pistol and sports pistol events, which led to the reallocation of a quota place to a female trap shooter. Shreyasi, a 32-year-old trap shooter and active BJP politician representing the Jamui constituency in the Bihar Assembly, will compete in the women's trap event alongside Rajeshwari Kumari.
