India at Tokyo Paralympics Day 10: After Avani Lekhara became the first Indian Paralympian to clinch multiple medals in a single Game with a bronze in the Women’s 50m Rifle 3P SH1 Final, Harvinder Singh in archery also scripted history.

India at Tokyo Paralympics Day 10: – Day 10 has been a monumental day for India shuttlers as Suyash Yathiraj and Tarun Dhillon clinched their berth in the semi-final, and are just a solitary win away from adding to India’s medal tally.

Harvinder defeated Germany’s Maik Szarszewski by 6-2 in the quarter-finals at the Yumenoshima Final Field. The Indian started the match on a great note as he clinched the first set by aiming 8, 9, 8 to which the German replied with a poor 8, 6, 7. Harvinder carried the momentum in the second set as he grabbed yet another 2 points. In the third set, Maik Szarszewski pegged one back against Harvinder, as he took the set by 28-25.
