Paris, Aug 30: A Gold medal was elusive for India in Paris Olympics 2024. Though Indian shooters did win three Bronze medals of the six medals that India could get in Games 2024, but Gold remained a distant dream.
But what Indian participants could not achieve in Paris Olympics 2024, that was made possible by Indian shooters in Paris Paralympics on Friday.
India's Avani Lekhara clinched the Gold medal at the women's 10m air rifle standing SH1 in the Paris Paralympics. She secured successive Gold medals at the event. She surpassed her own Tokyo Paralympics record on Friday, raising the bar with a final score of 249.7. She had achieved 249.6 at the previous Paralympics in Tokyo.
India's Mona Agarwal clichéd Bronze, while Korean Yunri Lee claimed Silver.
