PARIS 2024 PARALYMPICS: INDIANS WHO HAVE QUALIFIED - FULL LIST

Paralympic Games

India have named 84 athletes to compete at the Paris 2024 Paralympics, which is scheduled to be held from August 28 to September 8.

The contingent is India’s largest ever sent to the Paralympic Games.

At the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, India had sent 54 athletes, which included 14 women. At the Paris Paralympics, however, that number has grown to 84 overall with 32 women included in the Indian contingent.

India will compete in three new sports - para cycling, para rowing and blind judo - at the Paris Paralympics, extending the country’s participation to 12 sports. Overall, 22 sports will be held at Paris 2024.

Arshad Shaik will compete in the men’s C2 para cycling events while Jyoti Gaderiya will do so in the women’s C2 events. Kapil Parmar will take part in the men’s 60kg J1 event in blind judo and he will be accompanied in this sport by Kokila, competing in the women’s 48kg J2 category. Anita and K. Narayana will represent India in PR3 mixed doubles sculls in para rowing.

Tokyo 2020 was India’s most successful Paralympic Games with the country winning 19 medals including five gold, eight silver and six bronze.

Avani Lekhara, who won gold in women’s R2 10m air rifle standing SH1 event after tying the world record at Tokyo 2020, will compete at the Paris 2024 Paralympics. She was the first Indian woman to win a Paralympic gold medal in Tokyo.

Also returning to the fold is men’s F64 javelin thrower Sumit Antil. He won the gold medal in this event at Tokyo 2020 and is a two-time world champion. The 26-year-old also holds the world record after achieving a 73.29m throw at the Asian Para Games in Hangzhou last year.

Table tennis player Bhavina Patel, who won India’s first Paralympics medal in the sport, will compete in the women’s singles event and also partner with Sonalben Patel in the women’s doubles at Paris 2024.

Harvinder Singh, who became the first Indian to win an archery medal at the Paralympics in Tokyo, will appear in men’s individual recurve open and mixed team recurve open in the ST category.

Here is a comprehensive list of all the Indians who have qualified for the Paris 2024 Paralympics.
