While many Indian supporters were left disappointed on Thursday (September 5) after only one Indian Paralympian managed to secure a medal amid plenty of narrowly missed chances, it was a day to be proud of as the medal that came was won by Kapil Parmar - making him India's first-ever Paralympic medallist in Judo.

Despite being visually impaired, Kapil clinched a bronze in the men’s 60kg (J1) category and took India's overall medal count to 25. While the performance so far has been nothing but spectacular, sports fanatics in India can continue to hope for more.
