Apart from Narwal, other star athletes hoping to shine in Peru capital are four-time Paralympic champion Veronika Vadovicova of Slovakia, China Zhang Cuiping and Serbia Dragan Ristic, who all won gold at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
They will be alongside reigning world champions Tanguy de la Forest of France, Barbara Moskal of Poland, Gabriele Nanni of Italy and Iryna Shchetnik of Ukraine.
