Tokyo Games gold medallist shooter Manish Narwal displayed pluck and courage in ample measure before settling for a silver medal in the men’s 10m air pistol (SH1) final at the Paralympic Games on Friday.
The 22-year-old Manish, winner of 50m pistol gold in Tokyo three years ago, looked determined to do an encore in Paris, leapfrogging from No. 5 to the top of the heap. But just when the gold looked well within his grasp, Manish came up with a series of poor shots in the ‘9s’, which saw him drop to second place and finally settle for silver with a score of 234.9. Veteran South Korean marksman, 37-year-old Jo Jeongdu upped his game just when it mattered to clinch gold with a score of 237.4, missing the Paralympic Games record by mere decimals.
