Para-canoeist Prachi Yadav created history by becoming the first Indian to clinch a bronze medal in women’s VL2 200m event at the Paracanoe World Cup at Poznan, Poland.
Prachi bagged the bronze with a timing of 1:04.71 seconds behind silver medallist Brianna Hennessy of Canada (1:01.58s) and gold medallist Susan Seipel of Australia (1:01.54s).
It is India’s best-ever performance in the event which started on May 26 and will end on Sunday.
