Five gold, nine silver, and 11 bronze, along with many impressive performances—while some Indian Olympic athletes have not lived up to exact expectations, it seems the Indian Paralympians are doing all the right things in the French capital. The Indian Paralympic contingent, participating across 12 disciplines at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, has added more medals than the last Paralympics in Tokyo, where India secured five gold, six silver, and eight bronze, totaling 19 medals. Now, they have an impressive 25 medals and are standing 14th in the medal tally.
There is no doubt that the Indian shooting team is surely doing something right from the Olympics to here. Just like we saw Manu Bhaker clinch two bronze medals at the Paris Olympics, at the Paralympic Games, Avani Lekhara became the first Indian woman to clinch two gold medals, topping the charts in the Women’s 10m Air Rifle Standing SH1 shooting event. Also, India won gold and silver in the men’s club and discus throw events in athletics. The list of medalists is long—see the full list of all the Indian Paralympians making the nation proud at the Paris Paralympics.
