Chateauroux International Shooting Range: Indian para-shooter Manish Narwal remained on course for a second successive gold medal, securing a place in the final of the Men's 10m Air Pistol SH1 in the Paris Paralympics at the Chateauroux International Shooting Range here on Friday.

Narwal finished fifth in the qualification round with a score of 565 while his compatriot Rudransh Khandelwal missed out on a place in the medal round after finishing ninth with 561. He was just one point behind Uzbekistan’s Server Ibragimov who took the last qualification spot into the final.

Narwal, who won the gold medal in the Mixed 50m Pistol SH1 event in the Tokyo Paralympics, recovered from a poor start to keep himself alive in the medal contention. The final will be played at 5:30 pm IST on Friday.
