Goa's Tanisha Crasto along with her doubles partner Ashwini Ponnappa confirmed their berth for the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics.
Tanisha Crasto will be the 23rd Goan to represent India at Olympics in July.
The confirmation came after the first-round exit of the other Indian pair Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand from the ongoing Badminton Asia Team Championships.
With Treesa-Gayatri out of contention, Ashwini-Tanisha will be assured of a berth at the 2024 Paris Olympics as the qualification period ends on April 28 as there is no other tournament after the Badminton Asia Championships.
Ashwini-Tanisha are currently ranked overall 20th in the Race to Paris rankings and are the 12th eligible pair for an automatic berth.
