Harvinder Singh's Golden Triumph at Paris Paralympics

Indian para archer Harvinder Singh, the first from India to win a Paralympics medal in archery, turned his bronze in Tokyo to gold in Paris. Harvinder aims to continue his winning streak while completing his PhD in economics. His triumph inspires many and boosts the profile of para-archery in India.

Indian para archer Harvinder Singh has done it again, successfully turning his Tokyo bronze into gold at the Paris Paralympics. India's first Paralympic medalist in archery rewrote history with his victory in the men's recurve event on Thursday.

The 33-year-old, who credits rigorous preparations at SAI Sonipat and early acclimatization in France for his success, remains focused on his next target—completing his PhD in economics from Punjab University in Patiala. Delayed due to his rising sports career, Harvinder aims to balance both academics and archery.

Harvinder's journey from overcoming a childhood disability to inspiring a new generation of para athletes exemplifies determination and resilience. His recent gold medal will undoubtedly contribute to the growth of para archery in India, fueling aspirations for future victories.
