India’s great run at the Asian Para Games continues. Ekta Bhyan won the country it’s fourth gold medal by finishing at the top of the podium in the women’s club throw, while Manish Narwal won gold in the 10-metre Air Pistol event. He also set a new Games record.

Bhyan won the F32/51 event by producing her best throw of 16.02m in her fourth attempt. This class of event class features athletes with significant impairment in the hand function. Earlier this year, Bhyan had won a gold in the Indian Open Para Athletics Championship.

India also won three bronze medals thanks to Jayanti Behera, Anandan Gunasekaran and Monu Ghangas. Ghangas finished third in the men’s shot put F11, which covers vision impairment. Gunasekaran won in the men’s 200m T44/62/64 class, which deals with impairment in the foot, ankle or lower leg, but athletes compete without prosthesis. Behera won bronze in women’s 200m T45/46/47 event which is for athletes with limb impairment.

The records being set by Indian para athletes is winning them praise across social media, from ministers as well as actors.

Another fan tweeted, “Congratulations to our Odia girl, Jayanthi Behera for winning bronze medal in 200-metre race”.
