Navdeep Singh’s silver medal in men’s javelin throw F41 at Paris 2024 Paralympics was upgraded after Iran’s Sadegh Beit Sayah, the gold medallist, was disqualified.
Beit Sayah had won gold with a new Paralympic Record throw of 47.64m while Navdeep finished second with 47.32m but the Iranian was later disqualified due to violation of rule 8.1 of the International Paralympic Committee’s code of conduct which mentions “unsporting or improper conduct.”
F41 category is for athletes with short stature.
India has won 29 medals - seven gold, nine silver and 13 bronze - at the ongoing edition.
