Sumit Antil successfully defended his men’s javelin F64 title dominantly in the Paris Paralympics on Monday with a best throw of 70.59 meters. Antil, who had been India’s male flag-bearer in the opening ceremony last Wednesday, broke the Paralympic record with a throw of 69.11 meters in his first attempt.
The 26-year-old para-javelin star from Haryana would then improve his record in his very next throw by becoming the first to breach the 70-meter mark in the event in Paralympic history. Antil would then register throws measuring 66.66m and 69.04m in his third and fifth attempts, fouling in his fourth throw.
India nearly won two medals in the event, with Sandeep (F44 category) finishing fourth in the event with a best throw of 62.80m in his third attempt. Sandip Sanjay Sargar was the third Indian competing in the event and he finished seventh with a best attempt of 58.03m.
Sri Lanka’s Dulan Kodithuwakku won silver with a best throw of 67.03m, a world record for the F44 category while Australia’s Michal Burian — also an F44 athlete — took home bronze with a best effort of 64.89m.
