Para Archery Men’s Recurve Individual Open Quarterfinals Live Updates: Who is Harvinder Singh?

Harvinder comes from a farming family from Ajit Nagar in Haryana and faced considerable adversity from a young age.

When he was only one and a half years old, he contracted dengue fever and was given injections to treat it. Unfortunately, the side effects of these injections led to him losing the function of his legs.

Despite this early challenge, he discovered his passion for archery after finding inspiration at the 2012 Paralympics in London.

He made his debut at the 2017 Para Archery World Championships and finished in seventh place.
