Auckland shooter Michael Johnson has been selected for his sixth Paralympics.
Johnson spearheads a three-strong shooting team that also includes Greg Reid and Neelam O'Neill.
Johnson, a three-time Paralympic medallist, matches the milestone of Graham Condon, a Para athlete and Para swimmer who chalked up six Paralympic appearances between 1968 and 1988.
Johnson is entered in three events at Paris 2024 — the R4 Mixed Air Rifle Standing SH2, R5 mixed air rifle prone SH2 and R9 mixed 50m rifle prone SH2.
Meanwhile Reid, who will compete at his second games, will compete in the R3 mixed 10m air rifle prone SH1.
The 62-year-old from Featherston made his Paralympic debut at Rio 2016 and secured a slot for New Zealand at the World Shooting Para Sport New Delhi World Cup in March.
The team is rounded out by Whangārei-raised and Auckland-based O'Neill, who becomes the first female to represent New Zealand in shooting para sport at a Paralympic Games for 40 years and the first ever Kiwi woman to feature in a pistol event in Paralympic history.
