Indian para-cyclists won 12 medals at the UCI Parasport Denmark Grand Prix in Odense.
The tally was 2 gold, 5 silver and 5 bronze across the three-day meet from August 7 to 10, 2026.
Arshad Shaikh of Andhra Pradesh won six individual medals in the MC2 category — India's most successful athlete at the event.
Vishwa Vasani, 17, of Gujarat took four bronze medals in the WC3 category.
The contingent trained under chief coach Aditya Mehta.
Para-sport groups athletes by the type and extent of their impairment so that competition is between those with comparable functional ability, rather than lumping all disabilities together. In UCI para-cycling the class codes combine a letter for the discipline group with a number for the degree of impairment — MC2 and WC3 here denote men's and women's classes within that system. This is why an athlete's class is always reported alongside their medal: a result only means something relative to the class it was won in.
Simple Analogy: Like weight categories in boxing — the division is part of the result, not a footnote to it.
