South Korea\u2019s Kim Hyeonghui lifted 107 kg to take bronze, while Uzbekistan\u2019s Rukhshona Uktamova claimed gold with a best lift of 127 kg, according to ESPN.<\/p>\n<p>With this medal, India\u2019s tally at the Games stands at 47, comprising 12 golds, 17 silvers and 18 bronzes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tnm-preferred-source\">\n<div class=\"tnm-preferred-source-copy\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\tStay connected\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\tMake The News Mill your preferred source\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\tSee more TNM stories when you search for news on Google.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Indian para-athlete Manjeet also won a silver in the men\u2019s javelin throw F13 category with a personal-best distance of 61.03 metres. He had recorded his career-best throw during his second attempt in the F12\/13 competition, which secured his podium finish in the F13 classification. Manjeet has had a successful season, winning gold in the men\u2019s F13 javelin throw at both the World Para Athletics Grand Prix 2026 in Delhi and the Indian Open Para Athletics Championships in Bengaluru. He also secured gold in the Asian Para Games qualifiers with a 59.08-metre throw.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier on Wednesday, India achieved their second podium sweep of the Games in the men\u2019s shot put F46, with Sachin Khilari winning gold, Mohd Yasser silver and Praveen bronze. Khilari, a Paralympic medallist, set a Games record with a throw of 15.87 metres on his final attempt. Yasser recorded a season-best 15.06 metres to claim silver, while Praveen completed the sweep with a 14.94-metre throw.<\/p>\n<p>This follows India\u2019s first podium sweep in the men\u2019s discus throw F43\/F44\/F62\/F64 on Day 2, where Devender Kumar, Rakesh and Pardeep Kumar won gold, silver and bronze respectively. Devender won with 781 Raza points, Rakesh scored 771 points, and Pardeep earned 669 points. Though Pardeep had the longest throw of 51.15 metres, he ranked third under the Raza points system, which adjusts for disability classifications.<\/p>\n<p>Bhagyashri Jadhav added a silver medal for India in the women\u2019s shot put F34, throwing a personal best of 8.19 metres to finish behind China\u2019s Lijuan Zou, who set a Games record with 9.07 metres. This silver was Jadhav\u2019s second consecutive medal of the same colour in this event at the Asian Para Games.<\/p>\n<p>India achieved a one-two finish in the men\u2019s high jump T64, with Praveen Kumar winning gold and Banti silver, while Rakeshbhai Bhatt took bronze in the men\u2019s 100m T37 final. Praveen, a two-time Paralympic medallist, set a new Asian Para Games record with a jump of 2.05 metres, improving on his earlier equal Games record of 1.95 metres and subsequent 2.00-metre clearance. Banti achieved a personal best of 1.92 metres to secure silver.<\/p>\n<p>Rakeshbhai Bhatt won bronze in the men\u2019s 100m T37 final with a personal best of 11.50 seconds. Saudi Arabia\u2019s Ali Alnakhli took gold in 11.31 seconds, and Indonesia\u2019s Saptoyogo Purnomo claimed silver in 11.35 seconds.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/thenewsmill.com\/2026\/10\/kasthuri-rajamani-wins-silver-in-womens-para-powerlifting-at-asian-para-games\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kasthuri Rajamani secured a silver medal for India in the women\u2019s para-powerlifting up to 67 kg event at the Asian Para Games on Wednesday in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan.
