Even as Indian discus-thrower Vinod Kumar on Monday lost his F52 category bronze medal at the Paralympics here after being found ineligible in disability classification assessment by the competition panel, shooter Singhraj Adana today won bronze medal in Men’s P1 – 10 m Air Pistol SH1, taking the country’s medal tally to 8.

The shooter finished third behind the Chinese duo of Chao Yang (silver) and Xing Huang (gold) with a total of 216.8. Another Indian shooter Manish Narwal finished 7th in the category.

The 41-year-old Vinod produced a best throw of 19.91m to finish third behind Piotr Kosewicz (20.02m) of Poland and Velimir Sandor (19.98m) of Croatia on Sunday. However, the result was challenged by some competitors. “…the panel was unable to allocate the athlete Vinod Kumar from NPC India with a sport class and the athlete was designated as Classification not Completed (CNC),” the organisers said in a statement.

“The athlete is therefore ineligible for Men’s F52 Discus medal event and his results in that competition are void,” it added.
