India had a highly successful time at the Tokyo Paralympics 2020 on Monday, as the day yielded seven medals in total. And the other athletes would take inspiration from these performances to lead India's medal charge in the other events on August 31, Tuesday. On Monday, India won a total of five medals--two gold, two silver and one bronze. Avani Lekhara started the medal rush for India with a gold in the Women's 10 AR Air Rifle event. She in turn, became the first woman from India to win a gold medal at the Paralympic Games. Devendra Jhajharia, a seasoned medal winner in Paralympic Games once showed his class to clinch silver in the Men's Javelin Throw F46 Event, where Gurjar Sundar Singh won the bronze medal. Yogesh Kathuniya won the silver medal in Men's Discus Throw and lastly, the day ended with a bang with Sumit Antil spearing his way to a gold medal in the Men's Javelin Throw F64 event. Sumit Antil Wins Gold: Kiren Rijiju Shares Video of 23-Year Old’s Gold Medal Winning Throw in Men’s Javelin Throw F64 Event at Tokyo Paralympics 2020

India's charge on August 31, Tuesday, would begin with Rubina Francis competing in the P2 Women’s 10m Air Pistol SH1 Qualification event. She would hope to qualify and make it to the next stages, which would expectedly increase her chances for a podium finish. There's also Rakesh Kumar, who would compete in the Men's Individual Compound Open event in shooting and the nation would want them and others who step foot on the field to shine and add to the medal tally. Silver medallist Bhavina Patel would then be in action, this time in doubles competition alongside Sonal Patel. Performances of Mariyappan Thangavelu, Simran Sharma and the shooting trio of Manish Narwal, Singhraj Adana and Deepender Singh would also draw a lot of attention.

An action-packed day awaits!
