Indian women athletes put up a spectacular performance at the ongoing Asian Para Games in Nagoya, Japan. Competing in the women's 200m T12 category, senior sprinter Simran set a new Games record and bagged her first gold medal. Tejalben Damor, another Indian athlete who made his debut in the same competition, became proud of the country by winning a bronze medal. With these twin medals won by India in the field of para athletics, the country's reputation has once again been ironed on the international stage.
As part of the competition, Simran reached the destination with a time of just twenty four points and eighty seconds and secured the top spot. In this category, Iranian athlete Hazar Safarzadeh won the silver medal, while Tejalben, who is participating in international competitions for the first time, reached the target in twenty-five points and twenty-three seconds and took the third place. The perseverance shown by the Indian players in this T12 category, which is reserved for athletes with moderate visual impairment, is being appreciated by all. Simran, who won the Paris Paralympics, took part in these competitions with her new guide, Shivam, to great success. She said that despite her dietary and other challenges, she succeeded through perseverance. Also, bronze winner Tejalben said that coming from a poor family and winning a medal for the first time gave him a lot of self-confidence.
He expressed confidence that he will show better performance in the upcoming 400 meters event as well. The success of Indian women para-athletes in the international sports arena is a great inspiration for the young sportspersons of the country. Sports fans are elated by the achievements of these athletes who are winning medals for the country against all odds. Our athletes are hoping to continue the same momentum and win more medals in other competitions to be held in the coming days.
