Paris Paralympics 2024 Para Shooting: Sidhartha and Mona finish 22nd and 30th in R6 Mixed 50m Rifle Prone SH1 qualification round
In a tightly contested qualification round for the R6 Mixed 50m Rifle Prone SH1 event at the Paris Paralympics 2024, Indian para shooters Sidhartha Babu and Mona Agarwal faced stiff competition but ultimately fell short of reaching the finals, finishing 22nd and 30th, respectively. Both athletes aimed to secure a top-eight finish to advance, yet despite their best efforts, they couldn’t break into the top tier of the standings.
Sidhartha started strong, posting a solid 104.5 in his first series in the Paris Paralympics 2024 R6 Mixed 50m Rifle Prone SH1 Qualification. However, inconsistency across the next few rounds hindered his overall progress.
Despite showing flashes of brilliance with a steady 104.6 in the fourth series, his final score of 615.8, which placed him 22nd in the qualification rankings. It was well outside the cutoff for the Paris Paralympics 2024 R6 Mixed 50m Rifle Prone SH1 finals.
Mona Agarwal, on the other hand, had a more erratic outing in the Paris Paralympics 2024 R6 Mixed 50m Rifle Prone SH1 Qualification. Her opening series was impressive, with a score of 104.5.
Yet, she struggled to maintain the momentum. Several shots fell below 10, particularly in the third series, which saw her post a score of 99.2. Mona finished with a total of 610.5, placing her 30th in the rankings, and like Siddhartha, she failed to qualify for the final.
