Paris Paralympics 2024 India Day 3 Schedule: Full list of events, venues, & timings in IST, August 31

Saturday, August 31, marks Day 3 of the Paris 2024 Paralympics, and the Indian contingent is all set to build on their impressive success from Day 2. The second day saw Indian athletes put on stellar performances across various disciplines that ultimately culminated in a haul of four medals.

Day 3 promises to be another action-packed day with India’s para shuttlers, archers, shooters, athletes, rowers, and cyclists all set to compete.

India’s medal hopes on Saturday are pinned heavily on the para shooters, who delivered a three-medal performance on Friday. With six medals up for grabs across four sports, the spotlight will be on para-shooters Swaroop Mahavir Unhalkar and Rubina Francis, both of whom narrowly missed out on medals at the Tokyo Paralympics.

India’s strong contingent in para archery also presents promising medal prospects. Both Sheetal Devi and Sarita Devi are contenders for a spot on the podium. Alongside them, Indian para-athlete Parveen Kumar will also be in action in the javelin throw final.

Meanwhile, the para-cycling events will see India’s Jyothi Gaderiya and Arshad Shaik vying for podium finishes. Para badminton, which continues to be a strong suit for India, will see the shuttlers return to action on Day 3, after an incredibly successful first couple of days.
