India's Sachin Sarjerao Khilari clinches silver in men's shot put F46.


India's Sachin Sarjerao Khilari on Wednesday added a Paralympic silver to his world title in the men's shot put F46 event with an Asian record distance of 16.32m at the ongoing Games in Paris. 


The 34-year-old Khilari achieved his best throw of the day in his second attempt to better his own earlier Asian record of 16.30m which he set while winning gold in the World Para-Athletics Championships in Japan in May.


Canada’s Greg Stewart defended his Tokyo Paralympic gold with a throw of 16.38m. Luka Bakovic of Croatia took the bronze with 16.27m.


Khilari's silver is the 21ST  medal from Para-athletics in the ongoing Games. He had also won gold in last year's Asian Para Games in China.


F46 classification is for athletes with arm deficiency, impaired muscle power or impaired passive range of movement in arms, with athletes competing in a standing position.


Khilari has an impaired left hand.

 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also congratulated Sachin on X, formerly known as Twitter. 

 

 

The post read, "Congratulations to Sachin Khilari for his incredible achievement at the #Paralympics2024! In a remarkable display of strength and determination, he has won a Silver medal in the Men's Shotput F46 event. India is proud of him.
