Under the able guidance of super coach Gaurav Khanna, the Indian para badminton contingent returned with a whopping 47 medals from the Uganda Para Badminton International in Kampala recently. India’s shuttlers bagged 16 gold, 14 silver and 17 bronze medals across the 19 events at the Lugogo Stadium that saw a total of 138 international para athletes competing in the BWF tournament. Interestingly, India figured in 13 finals of which 11 were all-Indian affairs.
Paralympians Palak Kohli, Abu Hubaida and Ammu Mohan clinched two gold and one silver medal each. “I’m very happy with my medals. It is a BWF event and part of the international ranking system. So, this is big,” said teenager Kohli, who hails from Punjab. “I competed in three finals and among them was my first singles final, so I will remember this for a long time. I have already started planning my schedule for Paris 2024 along with Gaurav sir,” added Kohli.
