NEW DELHI: It was a thrilling final at the Châteauroux - Final Range. Avani Lekhara, the gold medalist from the Tokyo Paralympics, remained calm as she shot her final round, scoring a 10.5. With her title defense on the line, she awaited Yunri Lee of South Korea’s final attempt in the women’s 10m air rifle standing SH1 event.
Rather than focusing on Lee’s score, Avani kept her eyes on the standings, where she was in the silver-medal position. As Lee fired her last shot, Avani's name suddenly appeared at the top, and a broad smile spread across the 22-year-old Indian shooter’s face.
