Meenagh and Deboys compete in men’s sprint sitting para biathlon
https://merangue.com/p2xwz2mnbf Scott Meenagh and Callum Deboys opened their accounts at Beijing 2022 in promising fashion in the men’s sprint sitting para biathlon in Zhangjiakou.
Meenagh, competing at his second Games, finished ninth in a time of 20:34.7, while teammate Deboys, making his Paralympic debut, came 17th in a time of 22:32.0.
Despite strong winds testing the duo’s shooting skills to the max, Meenagh believes his quick-firing approach was key to achieving a solid top-10 position.
Meenagh said: “It was really tough out there. I took some risks on the shooting mat which I don’t regret, I think they definitely kept me in the picture with some of the really fast guys who took a lot more time on the mat today, on another day if it came off and it was clear we’d be a in a whole different position.
https://polyploid.net/blog/?p=7a49s51lmf “I was really happy to get the account opened and this is a race I’ve been really thinking about and just wanting to get amongst for a very long time.”
Deboys said: “I can’t believe that I’ve actually come here, finished the first race and it’s just the dream come true. The conditions were tough, it was very windy out there and a pretty strong headwind, but the sun and the snow conditions were perfect.

The dream is always to get a medal, but as long as I do the best I can I’m sure one day I’ll get there.”
