In the recent Olympic the gold medalist of India is really the center point of all the media & he really enjoy their success in Olympic. Now this is the time of Paralympics in which Indian Rifle Prone shooting Naresh Sharma did very well & appreciated by Olympic gold medalists Abhinav Bindra.

However he did not get any medal in the Paralympics but really played very well in his first Paralympics that is really appreciable. He secured fifth position in the 50m Free Rifle Prone shooting at the Paralympics Games in Beijing it is really very inspiring but little with disappointment due to rued the lack of coverage to the event by the Indian media. Abhinav Bindra says my congratulations to Naresh for their great effort & god may give him great future in the field of shooting. I am really impressed with their performance more over his determination has always been very inspiring & I wish him all the luck for the future. There is no coverage of our Paralympics athletes that is really bad luck for us that is really shame. The USA and Germany give the equal important to Paralympics & Olympics that is added by Bindra. To qualify for the finals Sharma shot a series of 99, 99, 99, 95, 97 and 98 to finish with a qualification score of 587 which was really appreciable for the Delhi-based Arjuan Awardee. Shot 10.2, 10.4, 10.6, 10.4, 10.7, 9.4, 9.9, 9.5, 10.1, 10.0 is made by Sharma in the final of the 50m Free Rifle Prone shooting at the Paralympics Games in Beijing.

According to Sharma is my first Paralympics Games in a rifle event & I am satisfy with my performance even there is not much supports for me more over there is no coach or anyone from a shooting background was there with me that is really frustrating for me.
