Paralympic best biathlon for Meenagh
Scott Meenagh achieved the best result of his Paralympic career finishing in sixth place in the long distance biathlon in Zhiangjiakou.
Meenagh thrived on the 12.5km course to finish in 40:32.5 with just one penalty in the four rounds of shooting.
Meenagh, who is from Cumbernauld, said: “I am happy with that - it felt nice and smooth and I shot really smoothly.
“I am a bit disappointed not to have gone clear in shooting but to be one shot away potentially from a medal is really good.
Looking ahead to the next Games I feel a medal is within my reach and I am not going to stop until I get it.
“My Games goal was to finish in the top six in biathlon if you finish in the top six then anything can happen.
“The credit goes to the team who get me on snow: the waxing team, picking the right skis and making life as easy for me as possible.”
“Looking ahead to the next Games I feel a medal is within my reach and I am not going to stop until I get it.”
Callum Deboys finished in eighteenth place with a time of 49:53.8 and five shooting penalties.
