Paralympic Games 2024 Live Streaming: With the Games starting today, you want to know when and where to watch Indian para athletes live.

After a sub-par performance in India’s Olympic campaign in Paris, hopes are revived as the Paris 2024 Paralympics begin on Wednesday. The Indian Olympic contingent managed to bag just six medals, five bronze and one silver, with no gold medals.

India’s participation in the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games begins on August 28 and will last until September 9.

The country’s largest ever Paralympic contingent of 84 athletes is set to showcase their skills across 12 sports in France. Leading the charge will be a 38-member para-athletics team, including Tokyo 2020 para-javelin champion Sumit Antil. The group, which makes up almost half of India’s Paralympic team, will compete in 12 medal events, aiming to bring home a significant haul of medals.

At the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, India won a record 19 medals, including five gold, eight silver and six bronze, making it the country’s most successful Paralympic campaign to date. With a larger contingent and participation in more sports, India will hope to surpass its previous achievements at Paris 2024.
