Paralympics 2024 Athletics: Full schedule, athletes, timings, and venues

The stage is ready for the Paris Paralympics, with an 84-member Indian contingent set to compete in the Games across 12 sports.

The Paralympics, which starts on August 28, marks a significant increase from the 54 athletes who represented India at the Tokyo Paralympics in 2021.

Expectations are high as the Indian contingent aims to surpass the 19-medal tally achieved in Tokyo.

Among the athletes, reigning gold medallist Sumit Antil (javelin throw) and silver medalist Yogesh Kathuniya (discus throw) are expected to shine again.

A 38-member Indian athletics contingent will compete at the Paris Paralympics. Athletics is one of India's strongest sports, with Sumit Antil, the reigning Paralympic and world champion in men’s javelin throw F64, one of the favourites to defend the medal.

The track and field events will begin on August 30 at the Stade de France Stadium and run until September 8.
