Deepa Malik, the country's first female player to win the Paralympic Games, believes that India will have double-digit medals in the next year's Tokyo Paralympic Games. Javelin throw player Deepa Malik said that she had doubled her numbers in the Rio Paralympics. Due to COVID-19 virus, Tokyo Olympic Games has been canceled for one year. Everyone will have more time to prepare.
Explaining further, Deepa Malik said that there were 19 players in our team at the Rio Olympics. Because of that we won two gold, one silver and one bronze, but the number of these medals will be increased in Tokyo Paralympics. In 2018, there were 194 members in our team, and we had won 72 medals. It has already established the criteria. The most special thing about the Tokyo Games in the coming year will be that the country will win double-digit medals in the Paralympics.
Deepa Malik, who has been awarded the Khel Ratna, told table tennis player Mudit Dani in the 'In the Sportlight' chat show that only 19 Pleyros participated in the Rio Paralympics, and won 4 medals. In the Asian Games that followed, we set different criteria, and received 12 medals, so it can be clearly said that we will get more medals in Tokyo Paralympics. With this, Deepa Malik has given her opinion.
