Paris Paralympics 2024: Deepti Jeevanjee wins bronze in women's 400m T20 final | News India

Paris Paralympics 2024: Para-athlete Deepthi Jeevanjee won the bronze medal in the women's 400m T20 final at the Paris Paralympics on Monday.

Deepti, a 20-year-old para-athlete, recently booked her place at the Paris Paralympics by setting a world record in the women's T20 400m final.

Born to Yadagiri and J. Dhanalakshmi, daily wage labourers in the Warangal district of Hyderabad, India, Deepthi's early life was full of challenges. Growing up in a financially tight environment, she faced social prejudice and suspicion from her community, who doubted her ability and future prospects.
