Yet again, the Paralympic performers prove that the physically normal are actually disabled ones!

Dharambir secured the gold medal with an effort of 34.92m, setting a new Asian record, while Pranav Soorma won the silver medal with a best attempt of 34.59m.

India’s remarkable run at the Paris Paralympics continued with a double podium finish in the men’s club throw F51 event. Dharambir secured the gold medal with an effort of 34.92m, setting a new Asian record, while Pranav Soorma won the silver medal with a best attempt of 34.59m. Dharambir, a former world championships bronze medallist, had a slow start with four foul attempts but produced his best in the fifth attempt to ensure the top spot on the podium. Soorma recorded 34.59m in his first attempt, securing the silver medal and completing a one-two finish for India.

Amit Kumar finished tenth with a best attempt of 23.96m. Serbia’s Zeljko Dimitrijevic clinched the bronze medal with an attempt of 34.18m. The F51 club throw event is for athletes with movement affected to a high degree in the trunk, legs, and hands. Competitors rely on their shoulders and arms to generate power. Dharambir’s historic win marks India’s first-ever gold medal in the Paralympics in the event. This achievement is a testament to perseverance and India’s second gold medal of the day. Harvinder Singh earlier became the first Indian archer to claim a gold medal at the Paralympics.
