New Delhi: Shooter Rubina Francis gave India its fifth medal at Paris Paralympics 2024 after she bagged a bronze in the women’s 10m air pistol event. She scored a total of 211.1 from 22 shots, finishing third on the medal podium. At the Tokyo Paralympics, Rubina had finished seventh. This was India’s fourth medal in shooting at the ongoing event.
Earlier, Rubina showed tremendous determination to qualify in seventh place for the women’s 10m air pistol (SH1) final, even as 10m air rifle (SH1) marksman Swaroop Unhalkar was unable to make an impact at the Paralympic Games here on Saturday. Rubina, 25, trailed the top-eight shooters for most part of the qualification round but picked up speed at the fag end to sneak into the medal round.
