Sachin had even more reason to celebrate as he not only clinched the gold but also set a new Asian record with an impressive throw of 16.21m.
Joshua Cinnamo from the USA narrowly missed out on the top spot, falling short of Sachin’s mark by just 0.21m, earning himself the silver medal. Kerwin Noemdo from South Africa took home the bronze with a commendable effort of 15.30m.
On Thursday, Paralympic gold medallist Sumit Antil scripted a world record in F64 javelin throw with a best attempt of 70.83m at the World Championship. Antil bettered his own record of 70.17m he had registered at the Indian Open National Para Athletics Championships in May last year.
Antil had won gold in the men’s javelin F64/44 final with a world record throw of 68.55m at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
The top-four ranked athletes at the World Para Athletics Championships in each of the individual medal events qualify for the 2024 Paralympics.
