Manish Narwal won India’s fourth medal by winning a silver in the 10m air pistol SH1 event at the 2024 Paris Paralympics. He won a silver in the 10m after winning his gold medal in the mixed 50m pistol at the Tokyo Paralympics.

Manish came in second place losing to Jeongdu Jo of South Korea. Jeongdu won the gold medal by securing the first spot. However, Yang Chao of China lost to Manish and secured a bronze medal.
