Paralympics will get underway in Tokyo from August 24 and will go on till September 5. India will be represented by 54 para-athletes – the biggest ever contingent in the history of the Games. These athletes will represent India in nine sporting disciplines — archery, athletics, badminton, canoeing, shooting, swimming, powerlifting, table tennis and taekwondo. With the shadow of Covid-19 still looming large, the participants will have to follow strict guidelines.
