Headlined by Sumit Antil's world record show, the Indian team returned home from the Paris World Para Athletics Championships with 10 medals, including three gold, and 17 quota places for the 2024 Paralympics in the French capital.
This was India's best-ever show at a World Para Athletics Championships surpassing the mark at Dubai 2019 Worlds that had nine medals. India had won five medals in 2017 World Para Athletics Championships in London.
Not just in terms of medals, new stars emerged at Paris who registered their personal best, won their first-ever medals and joined the seasoned names among the top performers. There were women winners too, who won both medals and quotas, to leave a mark at the championships.
