Paralympics 2024: Navdeep Singh's Silver Medal Turns To Gold In Dramatic Aggressive Javelin Face-off

Indian para-athlete Navdeep Singh won a historic gold medal at the 2024 Paris Paralympics on Saturday. Navdeep won the gold medal in the men's javelin throw F41 event. Initially, Navdeep had won the silver medal, and the top spot was secured by Iran's Sadegh Beit Sayah but that changed quickly and the Indian para-athlete was awarded the gold medal. This is because Iran's Sadegh Beit Sayah, the original gold medal winner, was disqualified for displaying an objectionable flag and making political gestures during the event. Sadegh Beit Sayah's Paralympic record was also nullified following his disqualification.
