The 22-year-old Narwal, who had won gold in 50m pistol event at Tokyo, was leading for quite some time before he slipped because of a series of poor scores to surrender the initiative to veteran South Korean marksman Jo Jeongdu.
Narwal, the elder brother of Indian pistol marksman Shiva Narwal, shot 234.9, while Jeongdu took the gold with a total of 237.4.
Narwal’s passion for shooting was sparked in 2016 when his family took him to a local shooting range. He later began visiting the range regularly. Initially unaware of the Paralympics, he simply enjoyed competing with fellow athletes.
