Navdeep had initially finished second with a throw of 47.32 m, while Sadegh took the top honours with a Paralympic record of 47.64 m. Speaking to ANI, Navdeep, who started javelin throwing after being inspired by Neeraj, refused to be compared with India's Olympic gold medallist, saying, "I have been inspired by Neeraj, but I am not like him. He will always be my senior, and I cannot compare with him." On his medal win, he said, "It feels good that India could win the gold and when Paralympics were concluding, the national anthem was played. I am happy that medal tally has been concluded with a gold." Talking further about his win, Navdeep said that the coach gave him a target of 47 m to prove himself as a great javelin thrower to him and also recalled an episode of sportsmanship with the disqualified Irathlete Sadegh. "I had trained really well and analysed the track by talking to other players. I had gathered information about the track and talked to everything with my coach. Coach gave me a target to hit 46, but told me that I should hit 47, and he would consider me really great for that. When I got to know that the Iranian athlete was disqualified, I tried to console him and make him feel good. But I am happy to have got the gold," said Navdeep. He said that the medal was due to fine support from his family, the Sports Authority of India (SAI), the <keyword id="21310141" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Olympic-Gold-Quest" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Olympic Gold Quest" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Olympic Gold Quest">Olympic Gold Quest</keyword> (OGQ), the central government, and the Athletics Federation of India (AFI). On talking with Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the medal win, Navdeep said, "I felt proud on talking with PM Modi. This produces a lot of motivation to do something so that we get to meet him again." The Indian contingent concluded its historic Paris Paralympics campaign with a total of 29 medals, including seven gold, nine silver, and 13 bronze medals, the most by the country in the history of the competition. With this landmark campaign, India has surpassed their previously most-successful campaign at Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, which gave them 19 medals, including five golds, eight silvers and six bronze medals.

A squad full of debutants, free from past baggage will aim to ace the ultimate test of their lives when the shooting competition of the <keyword id="4833237" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Paris-Olympics" source="Orion">Paris Olympics</keyword> begins in the sleepy French town of Chateauroux on Friday. <keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="India" source="keywords">India</keyword> has won four Olympic medals in shooting out of its overall tally of 35 but none in the last two editions of the Summer Games, putting the additional pressure of expectations on the record 21-member Indian contingent based in central France.

Even the quota winners were made to battle out in the trials with the inexperienced Sandeep Singh pipping 2022 world champion Rudranksh Patil, who had secured India's quota in the 10m air rifle. Patil wrote to NRAI proposing his selection in the team despite finishing behind Sandeep in the trials, but the federation stuck to its guns. The athletes have been training away from the hustle and bustle of <keyword id="19916613" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Paris" source="keywords">Paris</keyword> and that could work in their favour come competition day.

India will have representation in all 15 shooting events. It is not just peak performance on the day that matters in the Olympics, luck too plays a major part. The 22-year-old Bhaker, who has won a bagful of medals in world events, had a stroke of bad luck at the Tokyo Games where her weapon malfunctioned in 10m <keyword id="20105950" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="air-pistol" source="keywords">air pistol</keyword> qualification and she could not recover from that setback. She will be taking part in three disciplines - 10m air pistol, 25m pistol and 10m pistol mixed team. India's main challenge will come from China who are also fielding 21 shooters across disciplines. Another women shooter to watch out for will be Sift Kaur Samra, who won the 50m rifle three positions gold at the Asian Games. Moudgil, one of the seasoned pros in the squad, is making a comeback and will lineup alongside Sift in the women's 50m rifle three positions. Twenty-year-old Rhythm Sangwan will be participating in two events, women's 10m air pistol alongside Bhaker and the 10m air pistol mixed team. "The preparation has been going good. The range is beautiful. I was a little upset staying away from main village in Paris. It is not as I expected but I am here for the competition and win and not pass any comments on the Games Village. Olympics is the biggest stage out here," said Sangwan. Among the male participants, only Tomar has been part of the Olympics before. Tomar, member of the gold winning team at the 2023 World Championships, will be seen in the men's 50m rifle three positions alongside Swapnil Kusale. The male debutants who have a decent international experience include Anish Bhanwala, Sarabjot Singh, Arjun Babuta, Arjun Singh Cheema and Vijayveer Singh. Gagan Narang, the 2012 Olympic bronze medallist who is here as India's chef de mission, is backing the shooters to end the <keyword id="22557903" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="medal-drought" source="keywords">medal drought</keyword> in this edition. "My first Olympic experience was in 2004 and I remember at that time, we were not as confident as we are today. There is genuine belief that we are at par with the best in the world," said Narang. The biggest test of the shooters' lives awaits.

He had won gold in Tokyo with a throw of 87.58m three years ago. The season's best effort was the Indian's only legitimate throw of the evening. Nadeem's monster effort -- sixth longest in history -- also came in his second attempt which was like a bolt from the blue that stunned the Stade de France. The earlier Olympic record stood at 90.57m in the name of Andreas Thorkildsen of Norway, set during the 2008 Beijing Games. Nadeem also signed off in style with a closing throw of 91.79m.

Babuta started the second stage with a 10.6 and moved to the second spot. The Indian shooter raised hopes of gold after he managed to trail by 0.1 points behind the first-placed China's Lihao Sheng. With a shot of 9.9, Babuta's streak of hitting the ten-point mark ended. He fell one full point behind China's Sheng. Sweden's Victor Lindgren got rewarded for his consistency, and he eventually managed to sneak past Babuta for the silver medal spot. Babuta retaliated and made up ground with a 10.7 shot which allowed him to retake the second spot. The pressure got to Babuta, and he settled for the fourth spot after shooting a 9.5. Earlier, Babuta earned a ticket to the final round by finishing seventh in the qualification round on Sunday. The 25-year-old from Chandigarh shot a series of 105.7, 104.9, 105.5, 105.4, 104.0, and 104.6, achieving a total score of 630.1 points to make the cut for the final. The loss on Monday follows a narrow miss for Babuta in the mixed team event with partner Ramita Jindal on Saturday, where the duo finished sixth in the qualification round, just missing out on a final berth.
