The Indian contingent will be in peak condition, featuring a record-setting 84 athletes. Among these competitors, 38 will participate in athletics events, beginning on August 30.
The nation aims to capitalize on the momentum from a stellar performance at the Tokyo Paralympics in 2021, where India secured 19 medals—comprising 5 gold, 8 silver, and 6 bronze. This remarkable achievement surpassed their previous total of 12 medals accumulated across all Paralympic Games since their inaugural appearance in 1968.
Historically, athletics has been a strong suit for India at the Paralympics. Of the 31 medals India has earned, 18 have come from athletics, including four gold, nine silver, and five bronze. This impressive track record underscores the significance of athletics in India’s Paralympic success and sets high expectations for the upcoming competition in Paris.
