India's Nithya Sre Competes for Bronze at Paralympics

At the Paris Paralympics 2024, India's Nithya Sre faced a challenging semifinal in the Women's Para Badminton Singles SH6 event, losing to China's Lin Shuangbao, but she will compete for a bronze medal later today against Indonesia's Lina Marlina. India has achieved a total of seven medals, including one gold, two silvers, and four bronzes, with notable performances from athletes like Nishad Kumar, who won silver in men's high jump T47, and Preeti Pal, who made history by becoming the first Indian woman to win two medals in track and field events at the Paralympics. Avani Lekhara continued her success by securing gold in the women's 10m air rifle, while other athletes like Rubina and Manish Narwal contributed to India's medal tally as well. This year's Paralympics has seen India fielding its largest contingent ever, with 84 athletes across 12 sports, reflecting the country's growing commitment to para-sports. The ongoing events highlight not only individual achievements but also India's aim to surpass its previous medal counts from past competitions.
