Tokyo Paralympics: Harvinder Singh wins bronze using formula for perfect 10

Current GK ( Master) Sports

Armed with the insights on the conditions by Tokyo Olympians, Harvinder Singh wins India’s 13th Paralympic medal and the first in archery.
Harvinder Singh remembers his focus being drawn away from the 12.2 centimetre 10-point archery target placed 70 metres away. He was at a pre-Paralympic training camp at the SAI campus in Sonipat when Tarundeep Rai and Atanu Das walked in, fresh from their Olympic sojourn. It was a distraction for the 29-year-old, but a welcomed one.
He got to chatting with the duo, asking them about the conditions he should expect when he competed at the Yumenoshima Park in Tokyo. Those few insights were all he needed to, on Friday, win India’s 13th medal at the ongoing Paralympics.
Harvinder scored a perfect 10 in the shoot-off to beat South Korea’s Kim Min Su 6-5 to earn bronze in the third-placed playoff.
