Tokyo Paralympics: Meet Sumit Antil, wrestler-turned-javelin thrower who never gave up on his dreams #IndiaNEWS
Sumit Antil came into Tokyo Paralympics as the world record holder in F64 category of men’s javelin throw. He was also ranked world No 1. But he had unfinished business. At the World Para Athletics Championships in Dubai in 2019 he had won silver, then at the World Para Athletics Grand Prix in Paris in the same year he won another silver medal and yet then another silver at the Paris Open Handisport, also in 2019.At Tokyo, at the Paralympics, at the biggest stage of it all, he wanted more. He wanted gold. His resolve to top the podium was visible from the very first attempt. He shattered his old world record in the very first attempt throwing 66.95m. He beat that on his second attempt with a massive effort of 68.08m as he led the field from the start. #Tokyo2020 #Paralympics ð™aÈÝ[Z]
