Teen sensation Saurabh Chaudhary earned a Tokyo 2020 Olympics quota place for India with a stunning performance on Day 2 of the ISSF Shooting World Cup in New Delhi on Sunday.

Chaudhary, 16, won the gold medal in the men's 10m Air Pistol event in front of a boisterous home crowd at Dr Karni Karni Singh Range with a spectacular score 245 for a world record in the final.

Competing in his first ever World Cup, the Meerut boy was relentless from the start even as his compatriots Abhishek Verma and Ravinder Singh were eliminated early in the competition.

For the record, he is the youngest Indian gold medalist at the Asian Games, and also the only Indian shooter to win gold medals in World Championship, World Cup, Youth Olympic Games, Asian Games and Asian Air Gun Championship.

India thus secured its third quota place for the 2020 Olympics.

On Day 1 yesterday, Apurvi Chandela shattered the world record on her way to the gold medal in women's 10m Air Rifle event.

Chandela, 26, shot an astonishing 252.9 to win the top prize on the first stage of the 2019 ISSF World Cup, which also serves as one of the qualifying events of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

She had already secured a Tokyo Olympic quota in the last World Championships.
