Milan Đinović failed to make it to the finals of the shooting tournament at the Paralympic Games, in the air rifle SH1 - R3 discipline.

Today in Šatoru, at the French National Shooting Center, he finished the qualification in 26th place with 629,3 rounds.

The eight best qualified for the finals, and 633,8 points were enough for the last place leading to the fight for medals. Đinović's personal record is 635,1 laps. 35 shooters took part in the qualifications.

"Generally I am satisfied with my performance. It could have been much better. We will try harder next time and train a little better. The competition was extremely strong. There was also nervousness, which also contributed to the result not being better," said Đinović.

Đinović made his debut at the Paralympic Games and at the same time he is the first Montenegrin athlete to take part in this year's event.

For the performance in Paris, he received a special invitation from the Bipartite Commission of the International Paralympic Committee. Recently, at the European Championships in Granada, he was only 0,1 lap away from qualifying for the Paralympic Games in Paris.

Last year, he confirmed the minimum qualifying standard for the Paralympic Games in Paris four times. The results of Đinović gain importance if it is known that he has only been in Paralympic sports for two years.

He received his official class at the beginning of June 2022 in Šatoru, while three months later in Novi Sad he performed for the first time as a classified athlete at the Grand Prix.
