Paralympics 2024 Live Day 5 Highlights: It's Another Day in the Paralympic Games where medals are assured for India. The only wait through the course of the day is to find out the colour of the medal and whether or not the Indian contingent can assure or add more medals to their tally.
The Indian contingent has 2 gold medal matches scheduled in the day with Nitesh Kumar and Suhas Yathiraj both in with a chance to bring a gold medal for India in badminton. There are Indians in action in the bronze medal match too in badminton with Sivarajan Solaimalai/Nithya Sumathy Sivan set to represent the country in the men's doubles category while Sukant Kadam playing for the bronze.
In addition, if Nihal Singh and Amir Ahmad Bhat qualify for the final in shooting, there's a chance for another medal from the sport in the French capital. India's world record holder Sumit Antil will be in action in the men's javelin throw and the man who was India's flagbearer in the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games won't be itching to finish on the podium.
It promises to be an eventful day for India indeed, this Day 5 of the Paralympic Games.
