Paris Paralympics: Coach Suma Shirur Congratulates Avani Lekhara On Winning Gold
Air Rifle Standing SH1: India's top rifle shooting coach Suma Shirur, who coached Avani Lekhara to the gold medal in the Paralympic Games in Paris, on Friday congratulated her on her incredible achievement. Avani won the gold medal in the R2 Women's 10m Air Rifle Standing SH1 competition at the Paris Paralympic Games, becoming the first Indian to win gold medals in back-to-back Paralympics.
The 22-year-old shooter from Jaipur in Rajasthan has been training at the Lakshya Shooting Club in Navi Mumbai, which is set up and managed by Suma Shirur, since 2018. This is Avani's second gold medal in the Paralympics after she won the Women's 10m Air Rifle SH1 title in the Tokyo edition three years ago. In Tokyo, she had also won a bronze medal in the Women's 50m Rifle 3 Positions SH1.
