With India extending their medals tally to a jaw-dropping 27 in the Paris 2024 Paralympics, the athletes will inevitably look to add more to the count in the remaining few games of the multi-nation event. Although India missed out on the opportunity for medals on Friday (September 7, 2024), Praveen Kumar and Hokato Hotozhe Sema gave fans a reason to cheer.
Praveen Kumar struck India’s sixth gold in the Men’s High Jump event, while Sema snared a late bronze in the Shot Put category. Day 10 of the event presents further opportunities for the likes of Yash Kumar (Men’s Canoe Sprint semi-final), Prachi Yadav (Women’s Canoe Sprint semi-final), Navdeep Singh (Men’s Javelin throw F41), and Simran Sharma (Women’s 100m T12) to add further medals to India’s tally.
All eyes are on our incredible para athletes as they prepare to dazzle on 7th September! Arshad Shaik and Jyoti Gaderiya will kick off the day in Para Cycling, determined to make every second count.
