Not quite satisfied despite becoming the first Indian woman to win two Paralympic medals, shooter Avani Lekhara on Friday said she had it in her to perform better at the ongoing Games but was done in by the nerves.
Lekhara, 19, who had won the 10m air rifle standing SH1 gold, added a 50m rifle 3 position SH1 bronze to her haul, making her the first Indian woman with two Paralympic medals and second overall from the country to claim multiple medals in the same edition of the Games. “I was not satisfied with the gold only [laughs], when I won the gold, I wanted to fire that last shot better...so this bronze is definitely not satisfying,” Lekhara said.
