India will be looking to increase their medal tally on Day 4 of the Paris Paralympics 2024 with para shooters and Para badminton athletes in focus.
Avani Lekhara, who recently won gold in the women’s 10m air rifle standing SH1 category on August 30, will next compete in the mixed 10m air rifle prone SH1 category. She will partner with Sidharth Banu in the qualification round scheduled for Sunday.
In badminton, India is already assured of a medal as both Sukant Kadam and Suhas Yathiraj have reached the semi-finals of the men’s singles SL4 category. With the two set to face each other in the semi-finals, India is guaranteed a spot in the final, securing at least a silver and bronze medal.
Additionally, Nitesh Kumar will be vying for a medal in the men’s singles SL3 semi-finals, where he will take on Japan’s Daisuke Fujihara. Other Indian shuttlers, including Nithya Sre, Manisha Ramadass, Palak Kohli, and Mandeep Kaur, will also be competing in the knockout rounds. India’s medal prospects also include Ravi Rongali in the men’s shot put, alongside Nishad Kumar and Ram Pal in the men’s high jump events.
