India Achieves Historic Milestone at Paris Paralympics

India achieved a historic milestone at the Paris 2024 Paralympics with a 1-2 finish in the Men's Club Throw F51 event, where Dharambir won gold with a record-breaking throw of 34.92 meters and Pranav Soorma claimed silver with a 34.59-meter throw. On September 2, 2024, India won a record eight medals in a single day, bringing their total tally to 24 medals, including five golds. This performance puts India on track to surpass their previous best of 19 medals from the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. Key athletes like Harvinder Singh, Sachin Khilari, Avani Lekhara, Deepthi Jeevanji, and Mariyappan Thangavelu are expected to compete in various events. In a separate but equally impressive feat, Indian shooters at the 2nd World Deaf Shooting Championship 2024 in Germany have secured multiple medals and set new world records.
