Iranian Sareh Javanmardidodmani is proving herself to be the outstanding shooter so far in Incheon after firing her way to a second gold medal and world record.

After securing gold in yesterday's SH1 P4 mixed 50 metre pistol event with a world record mark of 192.8, Javanmardidodmani took the P2 title with a similarly impressive display.

This time a world record score of 200.4 saw her top the podium ahead of Thailand's Sompron Muangsiri and compatriot Alieh Mahmoudikordkheili.

But Zhang returned later to take gold in the R8 women's 50m rifle three positions while compatriot and fellow Paralympic champion Chao Dong fired his way to top spot in the men's R1 10m air rifle standing.
