India's performance in recurve has been a big let down with the Indian contingent faltering both in the Olympics and Paralympics. However, Harvinder has not only broken that jinx but also won India's first gold medal in recurve. https://youtu.be/FHu3QY9drw4?si=ictDZRS-Gx_BQ-Ma Meanwhile, India's other flag bearer, Preethi Pal scripted history as she bagged the first Paralympic medal in track and field for India.
