National champion Jaismine Lamboria qualified for the Paris Olympics at the 2nd World Qualification Tournament on Sunday.
Jaismine, who dropped down from 60kg, then reclaimed the women’s 57kg quota for the country, which India had to surrender after holder Parveen Hooda was suspended for whereabout failure last month.
Jaismine out-punched Marine Camara of Mali in a rather lop-sided quarterfinals.
Jaismine thus joins Nishant Dev (71kg), Nikhat Zareen (50kg), Preeti Pawar (54kg) and Lovlina Borgohain (75kg) in booking Olympic berths.
Later in the day, Sachin Siwach will compete in the 57kg box-off for an Olympic quota.
World championships silver medallist boxer Amit Panghal also secured an Olympic berth earlier in the day as he notched a hard-fought 5-0 win over China’s Chuang Liu for a ticket to his second Games.
