Preethi Pal won India’s first athletics medal in a Paralympics track event as she clinched a bronze in the women’s T35 100m competition with a personal best time of 14.21 seconds at the Paris Games on Friday. All the athletics medals India had won since the 1984 edition of the Paralympics have come from field events.
The 23-year-old Preethi, a farmer’s daughter from Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh, opened India’s athletics medal account on the second day of competitions. Preethi had come to Paris after winning a bronze in the same event at the World Para Athletics Championships in May.
