Shooter Avani Lekhara, who became India's first female gold medallist in Paralympic Games two days ago, failed to replicate her success as she crashed out in the qualification round of the mixed 10m air rifle prone here on Wednesday.

The SH1 (rifle) allows individuals with no impairment in the upper limbs but an impairment in either/both the lower limbs to compete. Lekhara was not at her best as she finished a disappointing 27th with a score of 629.7, in the third round.
