The medal tally skyrocketed on Monday and Tuesday when the Indian players won 13 medals taking it to 20. Meanwhile, in the Tokyo edition, India won 19 medals including five gold, eight silver and six bronze medals.

Half of these 20 medals came from para-athletics, while para-badminton fetched India five medals. There were also medals in shooting (four) and archery (one).

If India continues to keep up the pace, more medals are expected to be added to the tally as the game continues till September 8.

The Paris Paralympics will be remembered as a landmark achievement and an inspiration for Indian sportsmen to perform at their best and win for the country.

Avani Lekhara made history by securing her second gold in the women’s 10m air rifle standing SH1, becoming the first Indian woman with two Paralympic golds.
