Overview

• Serbia’s Aleksandar Radisic won men’s club throw F51 with 30.36m, with India’s Paralympic champion Dharambir Nain taking silver at 29.71m and Neutral Paralympic Athlete Uladzislau Hryb securing bronze at 28.70m.
• India’s Pranav Soorma finished fifth in F51 with 28.19m, falling short of replicating last year’s Indian one-two from the Paris Paralympics.
• Atul Kaushik earned bronze in men’s discus F57 with 45.61m, behind Libya’s Mahmoud Rajab, who set a Championships record at 46.73m, and Brazil’s Thiago Paulino dos Santos at 45.69m.
• The F51 final paused for about 45 minutes due to rain, and athletes reported grip problems because glue used to hold the club performed poorly on the wet surface.
• Organisers used newly specified clubs with mass shifted toward the metal base for the first time at these Worlds, a change coaches said contributed to shorter throws, as India slipped to seventh on the medals table at 4 gold, 5 silver and 2 bronze.
