France (11) and Ukraine (15), took the second and third place, having won 4 and 3 gold respectively.
On the final day of the event, Tokyo Paralympic silver medallist Singhraj, who initially qualified in fourth place, rode on his steady rounds of shooting to score 224.1 points and eventually clinched the gold.

The individual gold was also Singhraj’s first ever in the P4 event after several silver and bronze medals.

“I would like to thank my coaches for the success.”
