Bengaluru, September 5: 'We have wings.' It is the perfect theme for Paralympics 2021, that has started at Tokyo. The Tokyo Paralympics might not generate as much fanfare and noise as the Olympics but for the spirit of participants the event is second to none.
Over the next few days, specially-abled athletes from across the world, including from India, will vie for top honours at the Japanese capital.
On Day 12 of the ongoing Tokyo Paralympics, India enjoyed another fruitful day as the Indian athletes added four medals to take their medal tally to an all-time high of 17 medals.
On Sunday (September 5) - day 13, India aimed for a medal rush when shooters and shuttlers were in action during the Games closing day as Avani Lekhara and Pramod Bhagat were in contention for their third and second medals respectively.
In badminton gold medal matches, Krishna Nagar defeated Hong Kong's Chu Man Kai 21-17, 16-21, 21-17 in men's singles SH6 event, while Suhas Yathiraj settled for silver in the men's singles SL4 event after 21-15, 17-21, 15-21 loss to top seeded Frenchman Lucas Mazur.
The two shuttlers took India's medal tally to 19 - 5 golds, 8 silvers and 6 bronze - the best ever medal haul at the Paralympics since their debut in 1968.
However, the final day got off to a disappointing start with all three shooters failing to qualify for the final in R6 - Mixed 50m Rifle Prone SH1 event.
Sidhartha Babu finished just a position below qualification - 9th with a total score of 617.2, while Avani Lekhara and Deepak Saini finished 28th and 46th with total scores of 612 and 602.2 respectively.
In badminton bronze medal matches, Tarun Dhillon lost in straight games 17-21, 11-21 to Indonesia's Fredy Setiawan in men's singles SL4 event, while doubles pair Pramod Bhagat and Palak Kohli also lost in straight games 21-23, 18-21 to Japan's Daisuke Fujihara and Akiko Sugino in mixed team SL3-SU5 event.
And its all done and dusted in Tokyo, with Paris up next. It has been an exciting games and India returned home with a record haul of 19 medal from the Tokyo Paralympics!
The closing ceremony is coming to an end as the Paralympic flag, lowered during the anthem is passed on.
Krishna Nagar dedicates his win to the covid warriors. Nagar bagged India's final medal as he picked up the second gold medal in badminton on the final day of the Paralympics.
A big thank you to all for your support and encouragement. I dedicate this gold medal #Tokyoparalympics2020 to all our Corona Warriors who worked tirelessly for our nation during Covid-19 pandemic. @ParalympicIndia @IndiaSports pic.twitter.com/A3xNOKLahJ
