After a 26-medal haul on Day 5 of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Para Games, India will look to add to its tally on Day 6, with shuttlers, table tennis players and shot-putters among those in action.
Armless archer Sheetal Devi clinched two gold medals in less than two hours to underline her dominance, while track and field continued to be India’s biggest medal contributor as the nation’s tally rose to 88 at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Para Games on Thursday.
Sheetal, the 19-year-old reigning world champion and world number one, first teamed up with Toman Kumar to defend the mixed team gold, beating Indonesia’s Teodora Audi Ayudia Ferelly and Ken Swagumilang 151-148.
