In Beijing olympic, the Indian players gave some happiness to Indian sports lover, but in Beijing Paraolympic, India could not got place in medal tally. With 89 gold, 70 silver and 52 bronze (total 211 medals), host China got 1st place in medal tally, but Indian could not grab a single medal. Total 69 countries, including pakistan got place in medal tally, but shame for Indian. In powerlifting, last year bronze medalist Ravinder Singh Rehlu (Arjuna Awarde) given some hope in 1st round, but in final he got only 5th place. Country like Puerto Rico, Namibia, Lao PDR, Estonia, Lebanon, Papua N Guinea, Bosnia, Serbia, Lithuania, Angola, Venezuela were shining in medal tally, but sad for India.
