Indian Paralympic Committee had set an ambitious target of 25 medals in Paris and they are still five away from the desired number. While the majority of action at the Paris Paralympic is done, there is still a lot to come and Indians can still easily match or even cross their target.
The seventh day of the Paris Paralympics brings another set of the medal events where Indians will be in the hunt for glory.
The day right away begins with two para cyclists competing in the medal events. Arshad Shaik and Jyoti Gaderia will try to give their best in the men's and women's road cycling time trial events.
The big medal hopes will again be the shooters and the track and field athletes. Nihal Singh and Rudransh Khandelwal will be in fray in the qualification round of the 50m pistol shooting for SH1 classification.
Hopes of medals would also rest on the shot put trio of Rohit Kumar, Mohammed Yasser and Sachin Khilari.
Other medal contenders include Amisha Rawat and Parmjeet Kumar. Amisha will participate in the women's shot put F46 final while Parmjeet will represent the country in men's up to 49kg powerlifting final.
Late in the evening, three Indians will be competing in the men's club throw F51 final.
