India's performance at Paris Paralympics 2024

This total of 29 medals is the best-ever haul at a single edition of the Paralympic Games. They finish the event on 16th place in the medals tally.
During the games, many athletes made history, including Harvinder Singh, who became the first Indian to win a gold medal in para archery. Preethi Pal also made headlines by winning India’s first track medal with a bronze in the women’s 100m T35 and following it up with another bronze in the women’s 200m T35. Both athletes will be the official flag bearers for the nation during the Parade of Nations.

Navdeep had won silver medal in the men’s javelin throw F41 competition at the 2024 Paris Paralympics on Saturday, but his medal was upgraded to gold after the winner Iran’s Sadegh Beit Sayah was disqualified.
