India’s Pranav Soorma wins gold in the men’s discus throw F51/52/53 event at the Asian Para Games in Aichi-Nagoya, setting an Asian record with a throw of 11.66 metres. Ram Ratan Singh, also of India, finishes second to claim silver, with a best throw of 10.35 metres.
Multiple outlets report this as part of a broader medal haul for India at the Games. They also describe how the event combines classifications F51, F52 and F53 in a single competition, with athletes grouped together for fairness in the final standings. While the coverage emphasizes different aspects—Soorma’s record performance in some accounts and India’s 1-2 result in others—both correspond on the medal positions, event category, and winning marks.
