Kathuniya sent the disc to a best distance of 44.38m in his sixth and last attempt to clinch the silver.
Discus thrower Yogesh Kathuniya clinched a silver medal in the men’s F56 event in the Paralympics here on August 30 as athletics remained India’s happy hunting ground at the Games. The 24-year-old, a B.Com graduate from New Delhi’s Kirorimal College, sent the disc to a best distance of 44.38m in his sixth and last attempt to clinch the silver. On August 29, India had picked up a silver (high jump) and a bronze (discus throw), which is on hold due to a protest. Son of an Army man, Kathuniya suffered a paralytic attack at the age of eight which left him with coordination impairments in his limbs.More Related News
