Sports Min Fetes Indian Team On Historic Show In Asia-Pacific Deaf Games
Sports Dr Mansukh Mandaviya: Union Minister of Youth Affairs & Sports Dr Mansukh Mandaviya on Monday felicitated the Indian contingent after their successful return from Kuala Lumpur, following a historic performance at the 10th Asia-Pacific Deaf Games. India won 55 medals in all for an 11-fold increase over their last participation in 2015 where India won 5 medals.
The 68-member Indian contingent, including 42 men and 26 women, captured an unprecedented 8 gold, 18 silver and 29 bronze medals to finish fifth among 21 countries, their best-ever performance in the quadrennial event since its inaugural edition in 1984.
Previously, the Indian team had clinched five medals (2 gold, 3 silver) in the 2015 edition in Taiwan, ending ninth out of 23 countries. The 2019 edition was cancelled due to political unrest in Hong Kong.
