Just like India ruled the Olympic Javelin podium with Neeraj Chopra winning the historic Gold, in the Paralympics too, India dominated the Javelin throw stage.
India not only clinched the Javelin throw silver but also won the bronze medal. While Devendra Jhajharia, India's most successful Paralympian who already has 2 individual Paralympic gold medals in his kitty, bagged the silver medal with a 64.35 mt throw. Sundar Singh Gurjar, the 2017 world champion, won the bronze with a throw of 64.01 mt.
