“I can’t describe this feeling, I’m feeling like I’m on top of the world. It’s unexplainable,” Lekhara said. “I’m so happy I could be the one to contribute it. Hopefully there’s a lot of medals more to come,” the 19-year-old said about winning India’s first Paralympic shooting medal ever.

Avani Career
Avani got her spinal cord injury during a major accident in the year 2012. This made her restrict to a wheelchair. Few years after this incident, her father encouraged her to take part in para-sports. Her father suggested Avani to try both shooting & archery. However, she felt more comfortable & confident when she held the rifle.
“Summer vacations 2015, my father took me to the shooting range. I shot some shots and they were pretty OK. So I just started as a hobby, and here I am,” Leksha said.
She was inspired to take the sport seriously after reading a novel written by Indian Olympic shooting champion Abinav Bindra, setting her mind to equal Bindra’s achievements.
And the Olympic shooting legend congratulated Leksha after her historic victory:
“Gold it is! Brilliant display by @AvaniLekhara to win India its first Paralympic gold medal in shooting. Immensely proud! Many congratulations on your shot at history,” Brinda posted on his Twitter account.
