Navdeep Singh Wins Historic Gold at Paralympics

Navdeep Singh secured a historic gold medal in the men's javelin throw F41 classification at the Paris Paralympics, marking India's first-ever gold in this category. His initial silver was upgraded to gold following the disqualification of Iran's Sadegh Beit Sayah for unsporting conduct. This victory contributed to India's best-ever performance at the Paralympics, where the country won a total of 29 medals, including seven golds, nine silvers, and 13 bronzes. The Indian contingent's achievements were also highlighted by Harvinder Singh and Preeti Pal, who were named flag bearers for the closing ceremony. The campaign saw notable performances across various disciplines, with India finishing 18th in the overall medal standings. Navdeep's triumph and the overall successes of the team have brought significant pride and recognition to Indian para-athletes.
