Paris Paralympics 2024 India Day 7 Schedule: Full list of events, venues, & timings in IST, September 4
As the Paris 2024 Paralympics enter the seventh day, the Indian contingent will be looking to add to their growing medal tally on Wednesday, September 4. With podium spots up for grabs in several events across sports, India’s para-shooters, para-archers, para-lifters, and para-athletes will all be ready to make their mark.
In para-shooting, all eyes will be on Nihal Singh and Rudransh Khandelwal, who will compete in the P4 mixed 50m pistol SH1. This event holds a special place in India's para-sport history, as it was the scene of a stunning 1-2 finish by Manish Narwal and Singhraj Adhana at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. With expectations running high, Nihal and Rudransh will need to deliver under pressure to emulate their predecessors' achievements.
India’s biggest hopes in archery rest on the shoulders of Tokyo 2020 bronze medalist Harvinder Singh. Competing in the men’s individual open recurve event, Singh will look to better his previous performance and aim for a higher spot on the podium.
Para-athletics is where some of India’s other medal prospects lie. Reigning world champion Sachin Khilari is a leading contender in the men’s shot put F46 event. Similarly, Simran Sharma, another reigning world champion, will compete in the women’s 400m T12 event.
In the men’s club throw F51 event, Pranav Soorma, Amit Kumar Saroha, and Dharambir will be hoping to contribute to India’s medal haul. Meanwhile, Amisha Rawat will compete in the women’s shot put F46 event, where she will look to deliver a strong performance.
India’s powerlifting hopes lie with Sakina Khatun in the women’s 45kg category and Paramjeet Kumar in the men’s 49kg category.
In para-table tennis, Tokyo 2020 silver medalist Bhavina Patel faces a tough challenge as she goes up against defending champion Zhou Ying of China in the Women’s Singles WS4 quarterfinals. This highly anticipated clash will be a rematch of the Tokyo final, where Ying emerged victorious.
While India may not be among the medal favorites in para-cycling, Arshad Shaik and Jyoti Gaderiya will represent the nation in the men’s and women’s time trials, respectively.
