Oh Se-hee wins silver medal in rifle 3 positions at the World Championships... Received qualification for LA Olympics

Oh Se-hee (Chungbuk University of Health Sciences) won a silver medal at the 2026 International Shooting Federation (ISSF) Doha World Championships and qualified for the Olympic Games.

Oh Se-hee took second place with a score of 357.7 points in the women's 50m rifle 3-position final at the competition held at the Lusail Shooting Range in Doha, Qatar, on the 9th (local time).

He also obtained one 2028 Los Angeles (LA) Olympic quota, which is given to the first to third place in this event.

The Korean shooting team, where Ban Hyo-jin (Daegu Public Facilities Management Corporation) previously won the women's air rifle gold medal, had Oh Se-hee reach the podium for the second time in this competition and qualify for the Olympics.

In this competition, the countries with the first to third place in the individual competition will be given the right to participate in the LA Olympics. Athletes who have secured the right to participate by winning this competition must also go through separate national team selections to participate in the LA Olympics.

The winner was Aleksandra Stojadinovic (Serbia), who scored 358.4 points, and Misaki Nobata (Japan) took third place with 348.2 points.

Oh Se-hee, who entered the finals in 4th place after scoring 591 points (32 out of 10) in the finals, showed fierce concentration in the single shot shooting where the lowest ranked players were eliminated one by one, and at one point took the lead.

Oh Se-hee, who scored 349.0 points before the last shot and was 0.6 points ahead of Stojadinovic, could have secured the gold medal by hitting 9.5 or more points, but unfortunately missed the gold medal by 0.7 points as the last shot scored only 8.7 points.

After the match, Oh Se-hee said, "I was nervous, so I was aiming for too long," and although she was disappointed with her last shot, she said, "I am happy that I participated with a cheerful attitude in an important competition with an Olympic quota at stake and achieved a valuable result of a silver medal."

Lim Ha-na (Hwaseong Special City Hall), who also participated, advanced to the finals in 5th place with the same score of 591 points (29 out of 10) in the finals, but ended the competition in 6th place with only 314.4 points in the finals.

The Korean national team, led by Oh Se-hee, Im Ha-na, and Kwon Kwon-na, ranked 10th out of 19 teams with a combined score of 1,747 points in the team preliminaries.

Norway won this category with 1,764 points.

As of the 9th, Korea is ranked 6th overall with 1 gold medal, 3 silver medals, and 3 bronze medals. China, which swept 25 medals, including 13 gold medals, maintained the sole lead.
