India to send record 84 athletes to Paris Paralympics 2024

India is sending its largest-ever contingent to the Paris 2024 Paralympics. Last time in Tokyo 2020, India sent its biggest contingent of 54 athletes and won the most medals (19)

After winning 6 medals at the Paris Olympics 2024, the Indian Paralympic contingent is now all set to represent the nation at the Paris Paralympics.

India will send its largest-ever Paralympic team to Paris. A total of 84 athletes will represent the country, a significant increase from the 54 who competed in Tokyo and the 19 who participated in Rio. The team was originally planned to have 87 athletes, but the final number is 84. This historic team aims to surpass the medal count of previous Paralympics, where India won 4 medals in Rio and 19 in Tokyo. The Paralympics are set to take place in Paris from 28th August to 8th September.

Mix team at Paralympics

The Indian Paralympic team have a mix of experienced athletes and rising stars. Among them is 39-year-old Amit Kumar Saroha, who is competing in his fourth Paralympics in the F51 category discus throw. On the other end of the spectrum is 17-year-old archer Sheetal Devi, who uses her legs to compete due to a medical condition. Sheetal, the youngest member of the team, won gold medals in both individual compound and mixed team archery events at the 2023 Asian Para Games.
