Mixed Team Compound Open: In a ceremony at the Sports Authority of India’s headquarters, Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya felicitated some of the para-athletes who have brought pride to our country.
"Our Paralympic athletes are bringing pride to the nation in Paris. I am pleased to announce that we have won a total of six gold, nine silver, and twelve bronze medals, bringing our total to 27 so far. With more events still to be held today, there is a possibility of winning additional medals. At the Tokyo Paralympics, we won 19 medals. Now, we have reached 27," said Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya to IANS.
India currently is in 18th position in the medal tally with six gold, nine silver and 12 bronze medals to their name. The contingent has shattered the record for India's best-ever medal haul that was set at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics.
