Mona’s journey to this achievement has been nothing short of inspiring. Despite being relatively new to the international circuit, she has shown remarkable prowess and resilience. Her recent victory at the WSPS Para Shooting World Cup is a testament to her skill and dedication. Competing in the women’s 10m air rifle SH1 category, Mona not only won the gold medal but also secured a quota for the upcoming Paralympics.

The competition was intense, with participants from around the globe. However, Mona led throughout the Elimination round and finished with a total of 250.7 in the final. This was her first international gold medal, a remarkable achievement considering this was only her fourth international competition.

Mona’s victory also marked the ninth Paralympic quota for India, a significant achievement for the country. It is noteworthy that Avani Lekhara, the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics gold medallist, won the bronze medal in the same event. This highlights the growing strength and depth of India’s para-shooting team.

Securing a Paralympic quota is no small feat. It requires not only skill and talent but also immense mental strength and perseverance. Mona’s achievement is a shining example of what can be accomplished with hard work, dedication, and a never-give-up attitude.

As we look forward to the 2024 Paris Paralympics, there is a sense of anticipation and excitement. With talented athletes like Mona representing India, there are high hopes for a strong performance. Her journey so far has been inspiring, and there is no doubt that she will continue to make her mark in the world of para shooting.
