Mona Agarwal’s 250‑point thunderclap sealed India’s first‑day gold in the women’s 10m air rifle, toppling Avani Lekhara by a razor‑thin 0.4.
The gold‑medal chorus didn’t end there. Nishad Kumar leapt 7.11 m in the men’s long jump T47, Soumya Kumar clocked 5:12.39 in the women’s 1500m T12/T13, and Rinku Hooda hurled 65.11 m in the men’s javelin F46, each a season’s best.
Silver and bronze kept the scoreboard buzzing: Avani Lekhara again took silver in shooting, judoka Kokila edged a bronze in the women’s J2‑52kg, and swimmer Ravi Karthik Budigina earned silver in the men’s 100m freestyle S13.
With 11 medals already, India’s delegation eyes a stacked program tomorrow—para‑athletics, archery, badminton, shooting, swimming, table tennis, judo and powerlifting. The next day’s schedule promises fresh chances to climb higher on the medal table.
