Tokyo 2020 Paralympics: Record 19 medals thus far!!!! Amazing

[bharathh]

Medal #3 today (13 overall). Another bronze - This time in Archery from Harvinder Singh. Could have been gold if he had held his nerve in the semis. Unfortunately fell apart. Still good job winning against a Korean for the bronze.

[bharathh]

Soman Rana in silver medal position with 2 record holders to go... hopefully should medal as well. Was in #1 position for a while. Unfortunately pipped by a Brazilian with the WR holder (also Brazilian) and former gold medalist in Rio (Chinese) to go.

[bharathh]

Gets pushed down to 3rd position already. Unlikely to medal :( Oh well.. Creditable 4th position I suppose.

[Lord]

13 medals with 54 member strong contingent is already exceptional

[Gollum]

Harvinder Singh recurve archery bronze, beats a Korean to get it. Well done. 

[bharathh]

Should win at least 2 more badminton medals. We have 2 Indians in both semis of 2 events (SH3 and SH4) and one more Indian in the semi of SH6 and one team in the mixed doubles semi-final. Should end up with at least 15 medals for sure in this paralympics

 

2 more Shooting events to go with contenders for a medal and another javelin thrower who should also medal if he keeps true to form. We could be close to 20 if all goes well in the last 2 days!

getting to 15-16 does seem feasible.

Pramod Bhagat wins 1 semi final.. If Manoj can win the other it will be an all Indian final. 

[bharathh]

Manoj loses - so will play for bronze while Pramod plays for Gold. Possibility of 2 medals in this event.

 

Other badminton semis with Indians in both semis live now. Unlikely Tarun will beat the #1 seed in his semi. Hopefully the other Suhas beats an Indonesian to advance to the final. Either way a medal is guaranteed.

 

2 more semis in two different events in Badminton coming up in the day. 

 

Two shooters Singhraj and Manish Narwal make it to the finals. Hope they both medal.

Gold for Manish

Silver for Singhraj

 

 

P4 - Mixed 50m Pistol SH1 Final

Raining medals today. What inspirational performances by our paralympians.

 

Each of these athletes are super humans just for being there at the events defying all physical odds. The true super heroes who deserve mega rewards, celebrations and recognition.

[bharathh]

Wow! 1-2 finish in the shooting event!

 

Amazing! Up to 17 medals now (once the badminton medals come in) with 2 more badminton medals up for grabs if the losing semi-finalists can get the bronze

[nikrulz]

Krishna Nagar through to Finals of SH6 Badminton.

 

With world no 1 Shephard knocked out, he should be favorite to win the gold now.

[nikrulz]

Medal No 18 confirmed

What the duck! China has 87 golds.

Gold for Bhagat!

 

Bronze looking good as well atm.

[nikrulz]

Manoj Sarkar win Bronze as well.

 

Great day so far

[bharathh]

1-3 finish on the podium for India in SL3 Badminton. Two more medals assured tomorrow as well! 

 

Javelin throw not looking as promising. Navdeep in 4th spot - doesn't look like he will be able to get the 2+m needed to get him on the podium.
