Simran Sharma Wins Bronze at Paris Paralympics

Simran Sharma made history at the Paris Paralympics by winning a bronze medal in the women's 200m T12 final with a personal best time of 24.75 seconds, overcoming a previous disappointment where she narrowly missed out on a medal in the 100m event. The reigning world champion, Simran, faced numerous challenges in her life, including being born prematurely with visual impairments. The race saw Cuba's Omara Durand Elias claim gold with a time of 23.62 seconds, followed by Venezuela's Alejandra Perez Lopez in silver. India’s overall medal tally at the Games rose to 29, including six golds, after Navdeep secured a gold in the javelin throw following the disqualification of the original winner. Simran's remarkable performance reflects her determination and resilience as she continues to excel in para-athletics. Her journey emphasizes the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity.
