The Tokyo Paralympics are all set to begin, and India will be sending its biggest contingent yet. Out of these is a strong 7 athlete badminton squad, who is capable of winning several medals for India. Among these is Krishna Nagar, who hopes to walk away with a gold medal from the Paralympics.
Krishna Nagar is a para badminton player hailing from Rajasthan. He secured his spot at the Tokyo Paralympics by the virtue of his high world ranking. Nagar is currently ranked 2nd in the world in the SS6 (short stature).
Nagar will be looking to clinch the gold medal at the Games in which badminton will last from 24th August to 5th September. Parabadminton will be making its debut this year at the Paralympics and Nagar has said that he feels proud to be a part of the squad this year.
