Hyeres: India’s Nethra Kumanan qualified for the Paris Olympics 2024 in sailing after finishing fifth on Day 5 of the Last Chance Regatta in the ILCA 6 Category in France. Nethra scored 69 points and finished fifth on the leaderboard.

Nethra won the ENP (Emerging Nation Program Quota) which will be given to the best ENP sailor after the top 3.
