FOUGHT WITH BRAVERY, FELICITATED WITH GOLD; AN IITIAN WHO HAS NOW CONQUERED A GOLD IN BADMINTON:
A train accident in Visakhapatnam could not snatch away the victory from wonder hero Nitesh Kumar rather the year 2009 upgraded his life into a new version. He has now clinched a glorious victory in the Men’s singles SL3 of Paris Paralympics 2024. The man started playing badminton after joining the Indian Institute of Technology, Mandi and for the time being he has become a new sporting sensation in India.
India surmounts the Paris Paralympics 2024 medal tally with 15 medals of which 3 gold, 5 silver and 7 bronze already in its name. Worthy to note, all other players who have missed to secure a medal are no less brave than those fearless medal winners.
His dedication for the game is surreal. In 2022, K. Nitesh shone with full might clinching a gold medal at the Asian Para Games. He won a silver medal in the same year at Tokyo World Championships. Conspicuously, he is well decked out in many silver and bronze medals along with two gold medals.
This time, Nitesh the brave Indian beats the silver medalist Bethell for 21-14 18-21 23-21 making it look like an easy task. The Indian athlete is all of the show as he backs himself to jump higher.
