Arshad Shaik finished at the bottom — ninth place — in the qualifying round to crash out of the track cycling’s men’s pursuit C2 category of the Paris Paralympics in Paris on Friday.
The 31-year-old finished the race with a time of 4:20.949. The top-four made the cut for the final round.
Alexandre Léauté of France took the top spot with a world-record timing of 3:24.298, followed by Ewoud Vromant of Belgium (3:27.640), Matthew Robertson of Great Britain (3:28.373) and Shota Kawamoto of Japan (3:29.875).
Shaik will have another chance in track cycling, in the men’s 1000m time trial C1-3 category on Saturday.
He will also compete in the road cycling events — men’s time trial C2 and men’s road race C1-3.
C1 to C5 are solo categories practised by athletes competing with prosthesis or limited movement of upper or lower limbs.
