END OF INDIA'S CAMPAIGN
With that heartbreaking loss, curtains fall on India's campaign at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics. Undoubtedly the country's best-ever show at the quadrennial event, it was full of highs and lows.
While the 19 medals, including 5 gold, is certainly a very good number, it is now time to sit back and reflect on whether we do enough for these superstars and disabled people in general in the country.
It was fun bringing you all the updates from Tokyo over the past 12 days, and it is surely going to be weird not doing it anymore. Right from the start of the Olympics to the end of the Paralympics, thank you for joining in each and every time! Your love kept us going.

Hard luck for Pramod and Palak
Though Pramod Bhagat and Palak Kohli lost in straight games, this was a very closely fought encounter. They were always in the match, but failed to wrap it up under pressure losing 23-21, 21-19 to finish fourth!
The second fourth-placed finish for India today after Tarun Dhillon lost his SL4 Singles bronze medal match to finish just outside the podium.
