Paris Paralympics 2024 Para-Shooting: Nihal, Amir fail to qualify for men’s 25m pistol SH1 final
India’s hopes of clinching a fourth medal in para-shooting at the Paris Paralympics 2024 took a hit as Nihal Singh and Amir Ahmad Bhat failed to qualify for the final round of the men’s 25m pistol SH1 event.
Nihal Singh and Amir Ahmad Bhat finished 10th and 11th, respectively, in the qualification round for the men's 25m pistol SH1 at PARIS Paralympics on Monday.
Nihal Singh, a bronze medalist at the 2024 WSPS World Cup, scored 287 points in the precision round and 282 in the rapid round, finishing 11th with a total score of 569. Meanwhile, fellow Paralympic debutant Amir Ahmad Bhat scored 286 in the precision round and 282 in the rapid round, totaling 568 points.
The top eight shooters from the qualification round advanced to the finals, meaning both Nihal and Amir did not make the cut.
Despite the disappointing end to their Paris Paralympics 2024 para-shooting journey, both shooters can be proud that they have come close to the top 10 in the qualification table in their first Paralympic Games appearance.
