India opened their campaign at the Paralympic games with women paddlers Sonalben Patel and Bhavinaben Patel and while both were up against more fancied opponents, Sonalben ran World No.4 and Rio Games silver-medallist close. Bhavinaben though was no match to five-time Paralympic gold medallist.
The best ever Olympics just went by for India and the country looks good for its best-ever Paralympics with an unprecedented 54 inspirational athletes eyeing a medal haul that might just surpass the double-digit figure for the first time at the showpiece, starting here on Tuesday.
The likes of star javelin thrower Devendra Jhajharia and high jumper Mariyappan Thangavelu — both 2016 Rio Paralympics gold winners — will lead the biggest ever contingent with India expecting at least 15 medals, including five gold.
