New Delhi, Oct 22:
Indian para swimmer Himanshu Nandal secured his second bronze medal at the Asian Para Games with a third-place finish in the men’s 100m breaststroke, adding to India’s medal tally at the continental event.
Nandal’s performance underlined India’s growing presence in para swimming, with the athlete delivering another podium finish against strong competition from across Asia.
The 100m breaststroke requires swimmers to combine strength, timing and technique over two laps of the pool. Nandal’s bronze marked another achievement in his campaign, as Indian athletes continued to compete for medals across swimming, athletics and other disciplines.
India’s para-athletes have been producing strong performances at the Games, with athletics contributing significantly to the country’s overall medal count.
Nandal’s second bronze is a personal milestone and another boost for the Indian contingent as the competition progresses.
