World Para Athletics Championships: All eyes will be on javelin thrower Sumit Antil at the upcoming Paralympics in Paris. The Tokyo 2020 champion will be aiming to defend his title and is of confidence that he will "return with a good result."

Antil, who will be one of the two flag-bearers of the 84-member Indian contingent at the opening ceremony of the Paris Paralympics from August 28 to September 8, said he is drawing inspiration from Chopra’s silver-wining effort at the Stade de France in Paris.

Confident about replicating the Tokyo performance, Antil said Chopra has shared a simple piece of advice ahead of the Paris Paralympics.
