In a parallel display of excellence, Haney triumphed in the men's javelin throw F37/38 category, also eclipsing the world record in the process. The dual achievement represented a significant moment for Indian para-sports, demonstrating the calibre of talent competing for the nation at Asia's premier Paralympic event.
Both medal-winning performances reflected months of dedicated training and preparation by the Indian contingent. The gold medals add to India's overall medal tally at the Asian Para Games, highlighting the country's competitive edge across multiple Paralympic disciplines.
The Nagoya Asian Para Games serve as a crucial platform for para-athletes to test themselves against continental rivals and secure qualification standards for international competitions. Friday's results suggest Indian para-athletics remains a potent force heading into the remainder of the competition.
