The 'K-Shooting fever' of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games continues at the Paralympic Games.

The Korean Para shooting team won one gold, one silver and one bronze medal on the first day of the shooting medal race at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games at the Chateauroux Shooting Center in France on Tuesday (local time).

The shooting team won its first gold, first silver and first bronze medals of the Games.

The first medal came from Para women's shooter Lee Yoon-ri (49, Wando-guncheong).

Lee shot 246.8 points in the R2 Women's 10-meter Air Rifle Prone (Sport Class SH1) final to take silver.

She had a 0.8-point lead over second-place Avani Lekhara (IND) heading into her final shot, but fired a 6.8 out of 10.9 on her last shot to finish in second place.

Lee Yoon-ri didn't shoot a single shot below 10.0 in the final, but he made a big mistake on his last shot.

“When I shot the last shot, I felt a stiffness in my right knee,” he said after the competition. At the Tokyo 2020 Games, I shot zero points due to stiffness and didn't win a medal, but I came last,” he said.

Para pistol ace Jo Jung-doo (37-BDH Paras) was the next to strike gold.

He won the P1 Men's 10m Air Pistol (Sport Class SH1) final with a score of 237.4 to beat Manish Narwal (India - 234.9) by a wide margin.

He was in third place until 16 shots were fired, when he turned the match on its head with a frightening display of concentration.

Diagnosed with cerebrospinal meningitis in 2007 while serving in the military and left with a spinal cord disability due to poor treatment, he became a recluse for eight years, immersing himself in shooting games until he found shooting and started a new life.

“I want to convey my joy to my wife, whom I married in February last year, and to my baby, who is due next month,” said the gold medalist. ”The online world and the offline world are so different, and I hope many people with disabilities will have the courage to come out.”

The medal-winning streak for South Korean shooting continued.

Seo Hoon-tae (39, Kolon), a former Special Forces marksman, scored 231.7 points in the R4 Mixed 10-meter Air Rifle Prone (Sport Class SH2) final, finishing third behind Slovenia's Gorazd Tircek (253.3) and France's Tangi Forrest (253.1) to take home the bronze medal.

Seo scored 10.4 or better on his first 10 shots to take the top spot with 106.1 points and remained in first place through 16 shots.

However, a relatively low 10.3 on the 18th shot dropped him to second place, and a 10.3 on the 19th shot put him in third place.

Seo was unable to catch up with Tirsek and Forrest after that and finished the match on the 22nd shot.

Seo, a former Special Forces officer, became a Paralympic medalist after a fall in 2008 left him with a spinal cord injury, and he played table tennis and wheelchair rugby before switching to shooting.

At the previous Games in Paris, South Korea's shooting team won three gold and three silver medals, its best result ever.

At the Paralympics, she's aiming higher. 토토사이트 추천
