Paris Paralympics: Javelin Thrower Sumit Antil Wins Historic Gold Medal With Record Effort
World Champion Sumit Antil: India's two-time World Champion Sumit Antil made history on Monday by becoming the first para-athlete to win gold medals in consecutive Paralympic Games, claiming the yellow metal in Men's Javelin Throw F64 with a sensational Paralympic Record at the Stade de France on Monday.
Antil, the Tokyo Paralympic gold medallist, came up with a dominant performance as he took the lead from the first throw and never looked back.
The gold won by Antil is India's third in the Paris Paralympic Games, after those won by Avani Lekhara in Women's 10m Air Rifle SH1 and Nitesh Kumar in Men's Singles SL3 badminton. It also took India's tally to 14 medals -- 3 gold, five silver and six bronze medals, which put the country in the 14th position in the medals table.
