More than 100 members of the Indian contingent, including 52 athletes from various sports, will take part in the Paris Paralympics opening ceremony, which will be held outside a stadium for the first time in the Games’ history, here on Wednesday today.
Those athletes who have their competitions on Thursday, including the entire 10-member shooting team, are not taking part in the parade of nations.
“All the athletes who have competitions on August 29 will not take part in the opening ceremony as it will be difficult for them to compete next day. The shooting team will not be in the parade of nations,” Paralympics Committee of India president Devendra Jhajharia told PTI.
