The sport is governed by World Para Powerlifting and is open to male and female athletes with eligible physical impairments. With a specially designed bench and strict weight standards, powerlifting has become one of the most inclusive sports in the Paralympic program since its debut in 1984.
On Day 7 of the Paris 2024 Paralympics, the Indian contingent added four medals to their tally, bringing it to a record-breaking 24 medals in a single edition.
