Shooter Manish Narwal smashed the Paralympic record to clinch India’s third gold in the ongoing Tokyo Games, while compatriot Singhraj Adana bagged the silver to make it a sensational one-two finish in P4 Mixed 50m Pistol SH1 for the country on Saturday.
The 19-year-old Narwal, who holds the world record in the category, shot a total of 218.2 for his first medal at the Games.

A 🥇-🥈 for #IND
At one point it looked like just one Indian medal, between Singhraj or Manish Narwal. But, just like that, it all changed!
