Tokyo Paralympics: India brings home 19 medals

Tokyo Paralympics: India brings home 19 medals

India has created history at the Tokyo Paralympics, returning home with as many as 19 medals, their best-ever tally in a single edition of the Paralympics by far.

With as many as 5 gold medals, 8 silver medals and 6 bronze medals, finishing inside the top 25 at the Para Games in the Japanese capital.

India’s tally of 19 is also the country’s best at a multi-spot world event, going past the tally of 13 registered at the Summer Youth Olympics in 2018. The record tally in Paralympics comes after the able-bodied athletes scripted history at the Tokyo Olympics, winning 7 medals, their best-ever tally at the Olympics. India finished inside the top 25 in the medal table at the Tokyo Paralympics, going past their previous-best bby 15 medals.

From its first-ever Paralympics in 1968 to 2016, India had won 12 medals but the bar has been set high by the para-athletes as they return home with a staggering tally of 19. In fact, India had only 19 athletes at the Rio Paralympics where they won 4 medals.

A lot was expected of India’s largest contingent at the Paralympics — a 54 strong unit — and the para athletes lived up to the hype, winning medals at will in Tokyo.

It all started with a table tennis medal with Bhavinaben Patel becoming the first Indian to win a table tennis medal at the Paralympics. It ended with two badminton players winning medals as Krishna Nagar won a historic gold

in the men’s singles SH6 category and Suhas Yathiraj, an IAS officer, winning silver in the SL4 category.

There were multiple medalists as well for India as Avani Lekhara won a gold medal
and a bronze medal in shooting while Singhraj took a silver and bronze in shooting. Notably, Avani will be India’s flag-bearer at the Tokyo Paralympics closing ceremony on Sunday after having become the first woman gold medalist at the Paralympics or Olympics history.
