India At Paris Paralympics Day 3: Schedule, Time, Athletes And More

Indian athletes are set to continue their impressive run at the Paris Paralympics, with six medal events lined up in para archery, shooting, and cycling on Day 3.

After a successful Day 2, the Indian contingent is aiming to build on their strong start. Key medal events today include para archery, para shooting, para-badminton, and para-cycling, with six medals up for grabs.

Among the standout athletes, Sheetal Devi, known as the ‘armless archer,’ is a top contender. In the qualifying rounds, Sheetal set a new world record mark of 698, only to be narrowly surpassed by a Turkish archer. Despite finishing second, she remains a strong medal hopeful.

Her teammate, Sarita, is also in the running, having secured a top-8 finish in the ranking round.

In para shooting, Swaroop and Rubina, both competing in their second Paralympics, are determined to improve on their previous performances.

Meanwhile, para badminton action continues with the group stage matches, where Indian athletes aim to advance and keep their medal hopes alive.
