    World Para Athletics Grand Prix: Two-time Paralympics gold medallist Heinrich Popow believes that para-athletes from all over the world are realising the potential in India after the contingent bettered their best-ever medal tally at the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Paralympics.

    In addition to the impressive outings at the Para Games, India brought the curtains down on a remarkable campaign in the World Para Athletics Grand Prix 2025 earlier this month finishing at the top of the medals table with a stunning total of 134 medals, including 45 gold, 40 silver, and 49 bronze.

    In an exclusive conversation with IANS, the German who won the gold medals in the Men's 100 m T42 category at the 2012 London Paralympics and in the Men's Long Jump T42 category at the 2016 edition in Rio, spoke about some of the key differences he noticed in India between his visits and backs the nation to have a bright future in para sports.
