The Paris 2024 Paralympics witnessed a remarkable performance by India’s Sachin Sarjerao Khilari, who secured a silver medal in the men’s shot put F46 event. This achievement not only adds to India’s growing medal tally but also highlights the nation’s emerging prowess in para-athletics.
Sachin Khilari, the 34-year-old world champion, showcased his exceptional skills by setting a new Asian record of 16.32 meters on his second attempt. This stellar performance secured him the coveted silver medal, cementing his status as one of the top para-athletes in his category.
