Preethi Pal, born 22 September 2000 in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, competes in track and field under the T35 classification for athletes with cerebral palsy. At the 2024 Paris Paralympics, she took bronze in the 100m T35 with a personal best of 14.21 seconds and bronze in the 200m T35 with a personal best of 30.01 seconds, a double-medal performance that made her the first Indian woman track and field athlete to win two Paralympic medals, as reported by ESPN and NPR.
Her success continued at the international level: according to the packet’s records, she won bronze medals in both the 100m and 200m T35 events at the 2024 Kobe World Championships, and followed that with a silver in the 100m T35 and a bronze in the 200m T35 at the 2025 World Para Athletics Championships held in New Delhi.
Ahead of that New Delhi championship, Preethi Pal was named flag-bearer for India’s contingent, as reported by The Tribune — a recognition of her standing among the country’s para athletes following her Paralympic breakthrough.
Her verified Instagram account, @preethi__pal, references her Paralympic medals and the Arjuna Award in its bio, reflecting the record of achievement documented across these international competitions.
