The improvements made by Indian Para-athletes can be seen very clearly. A huge respect to all the Indian Para-Athletes. 🇮🇳❤️ But what about the Olympics? Our medal count at Paris went down from being 7 at Tokyo to 6 medals, with none of the athletes being able to defend their podium. #connection What's your view on this? What is India lacking at the Olympics, Why Indian athletes can't even qualify for most of the track and field athletics event, while on the other hand Para-Athletes 👑 are putting up a show at track and field.

During the Paris Paralympics, have you seen the white NPA flag go up often and wonder which nation does it represent & which anthem plays when someone from that team wins gold? 👉 NPA stands for 'Neutral Paralympic Athletes' and is used to represent individual athletes from Russia & Belarus, after the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) banned the two nation's participation in the Paralympics given the ongoing war 👉 The IPC vets the athletes and only those who have no involvement or affiliation with the war and military are allowed to participate 👉 In Paris, there are 96 participants from Team NPA across 5 sports, majority of them from para-athletics and swimming. 👉 When someone from NPA wins gold, which has happened about 22 times thus far, the Paralympic anthem is played but their medal wins are not officially recorded on the medals table 👉 Similar team structures have been created in the past for representatives from Yugoslavia (1992), East Timor (2000) and refugees & asylees (2016) before an official Refugee Paralympic Team has been created from the 2020 Tokyo Games.

For those who deride 'other than Hockey, and Cricket...what has India done in sports?' India 🇮🇳 concludes its Paralympics 2024 campaign with a record-breaking total of 2⃣9⃣ medals. #TeamIndia secures its best-ever medal tally in a single edition of the Paralympic Games: 🥇 Gold - 0⃣7⃣ 🥈 Silver - 0⃣9⃣ 🥉 Bronze - 1⃣3⃣ #Paralympic2024 #Cheer4Bharat #JaiHind India did very well in the 2024 campaign, beating top nations like Switzerland, Belgium, South Korea, Turkey, Argentina, etc. to finish the Paris Para Games among the top 20 countries in the world. 💥 If India focuses more on Paralympics than Summer Olympics...isn't it possible to be within the top 5 in the 2028 LA Para Games.

The 2024 Paris Olympics/Paralympics captured our imagination … and Australia's highlights were nothing short of inspiring: • Jess Fox cementing her legacy as the most successful paddler in kayaking/canoeing history, bringing home two Gold medals • Alexa Leary’s stunning performance to win the Women's 100m freestyle S9 in world record time • Caitlin Parker making history as the first Australian woman to win an Olympic boxing medal in the W75kg category • Lauren Parker achieving a remarkable feat as Australia's first dual-sport Paralympic medallist in 44 years, securing Gold in the Paratriathlon and Women's road race H14 and Silver in the H13 individual time trial ... and there are many, many more examples on the highlights reel. … and ‘Yes’ - the medals are cause for celebration, but the real magic lies in how sport inspires; creates community, a sense of belonging, resilience, self-confidence; and forges friendships and cherished memories. So, it’s no surprise that every Olympic/Paralympic Games sparks a surge of interest in sports participation. But the real challenge for Australia’s 400+ participation sports - especially those outside the mainstream like paddling, rock climbing, lacrosse (set to debut in the 2028 LA Games) - is how to maintain and capitalize on this momentum. Well, it starts with getting noticed … and how do you do that … talk to a good marketer! #sportsmarketing #branding #brandbuilding

🏅 India Shines at the Paris 2024 Paralympics: A Story of Grit and Triumph 🏅 The Indian Paralympic contingent has truly outdone itself at the Paris 2024 Paralympics, achieving a record-breaking 29 medals, including 7 gold, 9 silver, and 13 bronze. This is India’s best-ever performance at the Paralympics, surpassing the 19 medals from Tokyo 2020. With these incredible feats, India also crossed the 50-medal mark in its Paralympic history! One of the most inspiring stories from Paris is Sumit Antil, who broke his own world record three times to defend his gold in javelin. Another historic moment came when Harvinder Singh became India’s first Paralympic champion in archery. From athletics to shooting and badminton, our athletes have showcased an unmatched spirit of perseverance. One key learning for us is "The Power of Adaptability": What can we, as professionals, learn from our Paralympians? Their journey shows us the importance of adaptability. Many of these athletes have faced immense challenges, but their ability to adapt to circumstances and rise above adversity is what sets them apart. In our fast-paced corporate environments, the ability to adapt and innovate is equally crucial. Success often comes from our capacity to stay flexible and embrace new challenges with resilience. Let’s celebrate these heroes who remind us that no obstacle is too great if you have the determination to overcome it.💪 #Paris2024 #Paralympics #IndiaProud #Adaptability #CorporateLearnings #Resilience
