A good omen less than three months before the 2024 Games in Paris? French shooter Camille Jedrzejewski, almost certain to take part in the Paris meeting, won the 10m event qualifying for the World Cup in Baku, Azerbaijan this Saturday.
After placing fifth in the qualifying round, the Compiègne (Oise) native won the final with 243 points, ahead of South Korea’s Kim Yeji and China’s Jiang Ranxin, the reigning world champion.

A success that confirms the very good recent form of Jedrzejewski, who less than a month ago won a silver medal during the 25 meter pistol Olympic qualifying tournament organized in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).
If the young 22-year-old policewoman has already offered the French contingent an Olympic quota in the 10-meter shooting during the 2023 European Championships, she is not yet 100% sure of participating in the 2024 Olympics in Paris, it is the French Shooting Federation. which will determine the names of athletes who will be able to take advantage of the quotas at the end of the qualification period. However, it is very likely that Kamilla Jedrzejewski, one of the best shooters in the world at the moment, will be selected by her federation.
