She might have been distracted which resulted in the low scores,” noted coach Jonathan Josol.“Para archery is 90 percent mental and if you can focus on your shooting alone and nothing else then half the battle is won,” said the bespectacled coach. &quot;What is important is that we do well in the knockout round and I believe Tina has the capacity to do that. This is the important round because we are battling for medals.&quot;Also set to compete Friday is Hangzhou Asian Para Games gold medalist Jerrold Mangliwan, who will see action in his favorite event,  the men’s 400-meter T52 race, in the first heat at 11:13 a.m. (5:13 p.m. in Manila) at the 75,000-capacity Stade de France.He was drawn in the heat together with defending Paralympic Games champion Maxime Carabin of Belgium, Mexico’s Salvador Mondragon, Switzerland’s Fabian Blum, and Japan’s Ito Itsuya, with the top three finishers advancing to the finals at 19:14 p.m. (1:14 p.m. Saturday in Manila).

Para archer Agustina Bantiloc shot a season-best of 618 points but it was only good enough for 28th and last place in the ranking round of the women’s individual archery event of the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games here on Thursday.
