India is making a strong push for the 30-medal mark at the 2024 Paralympics. On Friday, the focus will be on athletics, with several medal events scheduled. Dipesh Kumar (Men’s Javelin Throw F54 Final), Praveen Kumar (Men’s High Jump T64 Final).
Bhavanaben Ajabaji Chaudhary (Women’s Javelin Throw F46 Final), Soman Rana, and Hokato Hotozhe Sema (Men’s Shot Put F57 Final) will compete for medals. Additionally, Kasthuri Rajamani will compete in the Women’s 67kg Para-Powerlifting Final.
