India Prepares for 2026 Asian Para Games in Aichi-Nagoya with Reduced Athletics Squad
The 2026 Asian Para Games will be held in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, from October 18 to 24, featuring 18 sports. India aims to surpass its record 111-medal haul from the 2023 Hangzhou Games, despite a reduced para-athletics squad of 62 athletes due to entry quotas. Flag bearers include Paralympic gold medallist Pramod Bhagat and silver medallist Bhavina Patel. Preparations continue amid some protests over selection fairness, with key athletes like armless archer Sheetal Devi and javelin thrower Sumit Antil among medal hopefuls.
