gold medal at stake, the top two — India’s Avani Lekhara and Korea’s Yunri Lee — were tied on points. The pressure was squarely on Lekhara as she was desperately fighting to defend the gold medal she had won in Tokyo. Lee, on the other hand, had peaked at the right time and shot multiple 10.8s to stay neck and neck with the Indian. Under pressure from her opponent, Lekhara fired a 9.9 in her penultimate shot.

Even the hopeless optimists must have given up on the hope of the gold medal. It seemed the curse of Olympics ‘near misses’ was following India to the Paralympics too.

Paris Paralympic is an inspiration. As they start their campaign today, a look at some of the stories: 1. Manoj Sarkar, who suffers from a lower limb condition due to wrongful medical treatment in childhood, grew up in a family that struggled to make ends meet, making it difficult to support his sports training. His mother worked in a factory, and with the meagre earning, encouraged young Manoj to take up the sport. When it became impossible for her to continue, Manoj stepped up himself and started painting houses. It helped him earn some much-needed money and, with the stroke of the paintbrush being similar to those in badminton, allowed him to polish his skills. 2.Deepthi Jivanji is intellectually impaired and finds it difficult to comprehend things.
