By IANS News August 16, 2024 • 14:38 PM View: 300

Hangzhou Asian Para Games: Defending javelin throw champion Sumit Antil and shot-put star Bhagyashri Jadhav have been named India's flagbearers for Paris Paralympics 2024 opening ceremony during the send-off event of the Indian contingent on Friday.

The Paralympic Games will take place from August 28 to September 8. Unsurprisingly, it's the Olympic venues that will be used to award the thousands of Paralympic medals.

India will be represented by 84 athletes at the Paris Paralympics, the country's largest-ever contingent, a significant increase from the 54 who competed in Tokyo.
