Harvinder, who secured India’s first archery medal at the Games with a bronze in Tokyo three years prior, improved his standing with a stellar display of five consecutive victories.

On Wednesday, Singh etched his name in history as India’s first Paralympic gold medalist in archery. He clinched a decisive 6-0 victory over Poland’s Lukasz Ciszek in the final, creating a historic moment for both himself and the nation.

The archer from Haryana has a leg impairment due to complications from dengue treatment received in his early childhood.

Harvinder’s triumph signifies India’s second archery medal at the current Paris Paralympics, following the bronze medal victory by the Indian duo of Rakesh Kumar and Sheetal Devi in the mixed team compound event.
