India's Sriharsha Devaraddi Ramakrishna fell short in the R5 Mixed 10m Air Rifle Prone SH2 event, finishing 26th in the qualification round at the Paris Paralympics. It was a day of disappointment for Indian shooters, as Avani Lekhara and Sidhartha Babu also missed out on final berths.

Despite strong efforts, Sriharsha's performance, which included a series of 10.6, 10.5, and other close scores, couldn't secure him a place in the Top 8 cut-off. He completed the first series in the 23rd spot with 105.2 points and improved slightly in the second series to hold the 20th position with 210.9 points.

Continuing his performance, he stood at 20th after the third series but slipped to 27th in the fourth. He finished strong in the fifth series but placed 24th before the final series, ending with a total of 630.2 points after a drop in the last shots.
