The Indian contingent at the Paris 2024 Paralympics achieved a 29-medal haul, a feat never seen before, surpassing the country's previous best of 19 medals at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. (More Sports News)

India won a record 29 medals -- seven gold, nine silver, and 13 bronze. With this, India also crossed the 50-plus medal mark in the Paralympic Games history.

Three years ago, in the delayed Tokyo Games, 54 Indians had fought for medals in nine sports. This time, during the August 28 to September 8 gala in the French capital, the 84-strong Indian contingent competed in 12 sports, cycling, rowing, and judo being the new disciplines.

Of course, every Indian athlete sparkled in the 'City of Light', but some shone brighter than others. Avani Lekhara, for example, became the first Indian woman to win two gold medals at the Paralympic Games as she defended her title with a world record score in the women's 10m air rifle standing SH1 shooting event.

Similarly, Sumit Antil successfully defended his Paralympic javelin title and created a new Games record with the best attempt of 68.55m in the men's javelin throw F64.
