Paris Paralympics: Archer Harvinder Clinches Gold In Men's Individual Recurve Open
Arab Ameri Mohammad Reza: Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist Harvinder Singh made further history for India by winning the gold medal in the Men's Individual Recurve Open, becoming the first Indian archer to win a gold medal in the Paralympic Games. With a consistent and rock-solid performance, Harvinder Singh, a bronze medallist in the second event in the Tokyo Paralympic Games three years back, bagged the gold medal by blanking Lukasz Ciszek of Poland 6-0 in the final on Wednesday.
With this achievement, Harvinder became the first and only Indian archer to win a gold medal in the Paralympics and Olympics. He is also the first and only archer to secure medals in consecutive editions of the Paralympics.
Harvinder's gold medal took India's tally to 22 medals in Paris with four gold, eight silver and 10 bronze. India have thus moved to the 15th spot in the standings. Harvinder's gold comes after Sachin Khilari claimed a silver medal earlier in the day.
