5 events in which India can still win a medal in the Paralympics
5) Devendra Jhajharia, Sundar Singh Gurjar and Rinku- Javelin Throw F42/44
One of India’s best chances for winning further medals. There are as many as three participants in the javelin throw.
Jhajharia had won gold in the javelin throw at the 2004 Summer Paralympics in Athens. In the process he had become only the second Indian gold medalist at the Paralympics.
Among the others, Gurjar created a national record with 68.42m during the 16th Para Athletics National Championship in Panchkula.
