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.

Bharti (division F25) clinched a gold medal in the Novice Slalom Final, while Harshita Thakur (division F26) secured a bronze in the same event.

This marked Bharti’s second gold medal in the tournament, while Harshita had previously won a silver on the inaugural day.

The Indian contingent also made its mark in Alpine Skiing, securing one gold and two silver medals in the discipline.
