Record Asiad haul: Para-athletes who missed out lament gaps in training and support
Preeti Pal, a para-athlete from Meerut, narrowly missed out on a medal at the Asian Para Games in China. She lost out by fractions of a second in the 100m and 200m races due to lack of proper training facilities. Similarly, other para-athletes like Suvarna Raj and Tripti Rajput faced challenges in accessing training facilities due to cost and distance. Coaches and athletes are calling for more support and infrastructure for para-athletes in India.
