Paris Paralympics 2024 India Day 5 Schedule: Full list of events, venues, & timings in IST, September 2
Monday, September 2, the fifth day of the Paris 2024 Paralympics, could potentially be an important day for Team India, with numerous athletes competing in medal events. With a packed schedule ahead, the spotlight will be on India's para-badminton stars, para-athletes, para-archers, and para-shooters who are on the verge of adding to the nation’s medal tally.
The final day of para-badminton promises to be exciting, with Indian shuttles competing for podium finishes. Suhas Yathiraj, Sukant Kadam, Nitesh Kumar, Manisha Ramadass, Nithya Sre, and Thulasimathi Murugesan will all be competing. Nitesh Kumar faces a tough gold medal match against Great Britain's Daniel Bethell, the silver medalist from Tokyo 2020.
In para archery, all eyes will be on Sheetal Devi and Rakesh Kumar as they compete in the Mixed Individual Compound Open elimination rounds. Both archers are big hopes for a medal, as they currently hold the World No. 1 spot and also broke the world record earlier in the ranking rounds of the Paralympics.
Para-athletics will also see some of India’s top athletes competing for medals. Sumit Antil, the reigning Paralympic champion and world record holder in men’s javelin throw F64, will be in action alongside compatriots Sandeep Choudhary and Sandeep Sanjay Sagar.
Yogesh Kathuniya, another medal hopeful, will compete in the men’s discus throw F56 final. Having won a silver in Tokyo, Yogesh will aim to upgrade to gold this time around.
Additionally, Deepthi Jeevanji, the reigning world champion and world record holder in women’s 400m T20, will start her campaign with high expectations for a strong finish.
In para shooting, Nihal Singh and Amir Ahmad Bhat will represent India in the Mixed 25m Pistol SH1 event.
