Air Rifle SH: India's Swaroop Unhalkar missed a place in the final in the men's 10m air rifle standing (SH1) after finishing 14th in the qualification round with a score of 613.4 in the ongoing Paris Paralympics on Saturday.

The participants finishing top eight in the qualification round progress to the final. South Korea’s Park Jin-Ho, who is also a Paralympic qualification record holder with a score of 631.3 in 2021, finished first with a score of 624.4, followed by Denmark’s Martin Joergenson, who finished with 621.8 points and was closely followed by China’s Chao Dong who finished with a difference of 0.2 behind the Dane.

Unhalkar never climbed higher than 13th place and at one point dropped to 16th during the competition. The Kolhapur marksman, who was diagnosed with polio at an early age, leaving him paralysed in both legs, managed a decent second series with a score of 103.0 but struggled to maintain consistency. His scores of 101.8, 103.0, 101.7, 101.8, 102.4, and 102.7 totalled 613.4.
