Indian judoka Kapil Parmar made history by winning India's first-ever Paralympic medal in judo at the Paris 2024 Paralympics. He earned bronze in the men's -60kg J1 category, defeating Brazil's Elielton de Oliveira in 33 seconds with an Ippon. Kapil's win brings India's total medal count to 25, including five golds. The 24-year-old, who hails from Madhya Pradesh, overcame adversity after surviving an electric shock as a child. Despite a semifinal loss to Iran's Banitaba Khorram Abadi, Kapil’s achievement has inspired the nation.
