Competitive shooter Yulia Chernoy finishes in 8th place out of 36 competitors in the mixed 50m rifle prone qualification at the 2024 Paris Paralympics, clinching the last spot in the final.

This afternoon, Chernoy will compete in the final, hoping for a medal finish. This is the third Paralympics for Chernoy, 44, after she competed in rowing in Rio and shooting in Tokyo.

Separately, handcyclist Amit Hasdai drops out of the men’s para-cycling road race on the rainy streets of Paris, not finishing the race, after his bike got a flat tire.
