1. In which city is the 2024 Paralympic Games being held?

India has announced its largest Paralympic delegation to Paris 2024, comprising 84 athletes, with an increased representation of women to 32 participants. This marks a significant improvement from Tokyo 2020, where India had sent 54 athletes with only 14 women. In Paris, India is competing in three new sports para-cycling, para-rowing, and blind judo, totalling 22 sports across the event. India's Paralympic journey has been marked by both success and challenges. In Paris 2020, India secured 19 medals across six sports, with the most medals being won in shooting. However, there are high hopes and determination for a stronger showing in the 12 Paralympic sports at Paris 2024. India's participation spans a variety of sports, including para archery, athletics, shooting, swimming, and more, showcasing the nation's broad Paralympic program.
