Jhajharia's 'winning tip' played its part in Navdeep's win

The Hindu  

A "small yet powerful advice" from India's celebrated javelin thrower Devendra Jhajharia proved to be crucial for Navdeep Singh, who clinched a historic gold medal at the Paris Paralympics. “Sir ke paas bahut experience hain, aur woh hamesha fase huye match nikalte hain, so maine mere problems bataye,” Navdeep recalled their conversation in a video shared by the Paralympics Committee of India. This insight played a significant role in Navdeep's performance, helping him achieve a personal best throw of 47.32 metres and secure the gold medal in the men's javelin F41 category. Navdeep was initially placed second but it was upgraded to gold just before the medal ceremony as Iran's Beit Sadegh, who topped with a throw of 47.64, was disqualified for "unsporting/improper conduct".
