Paris Paralympics: India Wins Record 25th Medal With First-Ever Podium Finish In Judo

New Delhi: India’s Olympic contingent managed just 6 medals, without a gold at the Paris Olympics last month.

Our para sportspersons have not just outshone Neeraj Chopra & Co., they are rewriting history at the Paris Paralympics 2024.

As Kapil Parmar won bronze in the men’s 60kg J1 para judo event on Thursday, he became India’s first judoka to claim a medal in Paralympics.

It brought up India’s 25th medal, and counting.

Late on Wednesday night, Harvinder Singh gave India its first ever archery gold by topping the men’s individual recurve open event.

The Indians para athletes have so far lifted 5 gold, 9 silver and 11 bronze in Paris to sit at No. 14 in the medals tally. They have already surpassed the 19 medals – 5 gold, 6 silver, 8 bronze — they bagged at the Tokyo Paralympics three years ago.

With two days of competition left, the record tally could swell to 30 as well.
