Paris Paralympics: Why Navdeep Was Upgraded To Gold In Javelin After Initially Winning Silver
India's Navdeep was upgraded to gold, despite winning a silver initially, in the men's javelin throw F41 final at the 2024 Paris Paralympics after Iran's Beit Sayah Sadegh was disqualified. This marks India's first gold medal in the men's javelin F41 category and brings their total gold medal count at the Paralympics to seven, the highest ever for the country.
Navdeep's first attempt was fouled, but he made a remarkable comeback on his second attempt with a throw of 46.39 meters. His third throw, which shattered the Paralympic record with a distance of 47.32 meters, put him in the lead. However, Iran's Beit Sayah Sadegh surpassed Navdeep with a record throw of 47.64 meters on his fifth attempt.
