First Paralympics Medal in 100m T35

Earlier in the games, Preeti had already made headlines by winning India’s first athletics medal in a Paralympic track event. She secured a bronze in the women’s 100m T35 event with a personal best of 14.21 seconds. This feat was significant as all of India’s previous Paralympic athletics medals since 1984 had come from field events.
