India made history at the Paris Paralympics 2024 as 17-year-old archer Sheetal Devi and her teammate Rakesh Kumar secured a bronze medal in the mixed team compound archery event. This marks only the second archery medal for India in Paralympic history. Sheetal, who is the only female armless athlete in this year's Paralympics, became a global sensation with her performance. After a heartbreaking loss in the semifinals, the duo staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Italy's Eleonora Sarti and Matteo Bonacina with a close 156-155 victory. Their achievement is a significant milestone for Indian archery on the world stage.
