Record Hope: India's Gold Medal Prospects at the 2024 Paris Paralympics

India is arriving at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris with a record 84 athletes and hopes of matching or surpassing their 19-medal win in Tokyo. Anticipations rest particularly high with potential gold medalists--Sumit Antil, Avani Lekhara, and Manish Narwal. Antil, a successful javelin thrower, holds a Paralympic gold medal and the world record in his category, aiming for an 80m goal but hoping to secure gold with 75m in Paris. Lekhara, who was the first Indian woman to win gold at the Paralympics, will again compete in shooting categories, facing competition and recovery from surgery but still showing promise. Narwal, who has emerged as a shooting talent, holds the world record and won both a gold and silver in Tokyo, which he hopes to build on. With these prospects and more, India looks forward to the Paralympic games with high hopes.
