Catch all the thrilling highlights as Indian archers bid farewell to their dreams in Paris. From heart-stopping performances to breaking records, discover the stories behind the bows!

The anticipation around the Paris 2024 Paralympics is palpable, especially in archery, where athletes push the limits of determination and skill. The Indian archery team has had its fair share of ups and downs, but the standout performances of Sheetal Devi and Sarita Kumari brought both hope and heartache. While Sarita made a commendable run to the quarterfinals in the compound women’s open category, her journey came to a sudden halt when she faced the reigning world champion, Oznur Cure Girdi from Turkey. The competition was fierce, and Girdi proved too much for Sarita, leaving her with bittersweet memories of her Paralympic journey in Paris.

On the other hand, Sheetal Devi, known for her incredible resilience and skill, faced an equally tough challenge. Competing despite being born without arms, she secured her place in the competition by delivering a jaw-dropping performance that shattered the previous world record in the qualification rounds. However, her dream of Paralympic glory was dashed when she exited in the last-16 of the women’s individual compound archery event. Both athletes showcased extraordinary talent and determination, embodying what the spirit of the Paralympics stands for: perseverance against all odds.

Yet, the excitement didn't end there! The Paralympics are not just about winning medals; they're about inspiring stories, like that of Yuya Oe, a unique para archer who creatively uses his teeth to aim and shoot. With a day job as a public servant, Oe’s prowess exemplifies determination and the unexpected ways in which athletes adapt their skills to compete. The world of para athletes is filled with fascinating stories that encourage and motivate those facing their own personal battles, showing that nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it.

As the dust settles on the archery events of the Paris 2024 Paralympics, both Sheetal and Sarita have left their mark. Though they may not have walked away with medals, their accomplishments and the records they set will continue to inspire future generations of athletes. In fact, the sheer grit and passion displayed by individuals like them reaffirm that sports, regardless of the challenges faced, can unite and empower people. The journey may have come to an end for now, but the legacy of these athletes is just beginning!
