India secured two gold, two silver, and one bronze medal across two sporting disciplines to extend their medal tally to nine on the second day of the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Turin, Italy.

Snowboarding, which brought India four medals on the opening day of the tournament, added two more accolades to the tally on Wednesday.
