Paralympics 2024: India’s Gold medal count surpasses total Olympics tally; Navdeep, Simran extend record

Navdeep Singh’s upgraded Gold medal and Simran Sharma’s bronze extended India’s record tally at the Paralympics, reaching 29 now on Saturday, September 7. Navdeep won a Silver medal in men’s javelin throw F41 after recording his personal best of 47.32m. However, it was upgraded to Gold following Iran’s Sadegh Beit Sayah’s disqualification for violating the World Para Athletics Rules and Regulations. Navdeep’s upgrade meant India now has 7 Gold medals at the Paris Paralympics, which is more than the whole Olympics tally (six medals).
