Becoming the first Indian to acquire 1st Paris Olympic quota, Balraj Panwar finished third in the Single men scull event at the 2024 World Asian and Oceanian Olympic & Paralympic Qualification Regatta. At Chungju, South Korea on Sunday.
In the previous year, this 25-year-old Indian army man just barely missed out on a bronze after his initial appearance in Asian games. Held In Hangzhou, China.
But this time, he clocked 7:01.27 minutes, finishing third in the 2000m race and acquiring the quota. Usually in the men’s single scull category, only the top 5 make it to the Olympics berth.
