2 Medals assured for India in F46 Javelin
Both Devendra Jhajharia and Sundar Singh Gurjar are assured of medals in Men's F46 Javelin Throw. It is all down to the colour now. Who will return with what?
India eyeing a double podium
A double podium finish looks ominous for India in Men's F46 Javelin Throw. The Indians, Devendra and Sundar are ranked second and thrid respectively with just the final attempts left. Surely there would not be any drastic twist here.
Sundar Singh Gurjar moves up
With a throw of 64.01m, Sundar Singh Gurjar has moved up to the bronze medal position in Men's F46 Javelin Throw. He is breathing down the neck of Devendra Jhajharia.
Swaroop Unhalkar reached Men's 10m Air Rifle SH1 Final
Much like Avani Lekhara, Swaroop Unhalkar too has entered the 10m Air Rifle Final in the seventh position. The other Indian in contention, Deepak Saini, finished 20th.
The Sri Lankan going strong
Sri Lanka's Dinesh Priyan is still going strong at the first position in Men's F46 Javelin Throw. Devendra is second, while Sundar has slipped down to 4th.
Ajeet Singh, on the other hand, looks completely out of sorts. Atleast one medal looks well within the reach, but the Indians surely have to up their game here.

SILVERRR FOR YOGESSSSHHH!
It is a silver for Yogesh Khatuniya in the Men's F52 Discus Throw. His best today stands at 44.38. The Brazilian with a Paralympic Record of 45.59 is the Paralympics Champion!
Ajeet Singh struggling in javelin!
Ajeet Singh seems to be struggling in javelin throw, and has fouled his second and third attempts after a mediocre first throw.
World Record in Javelin!
It is going crazy out there in Tokyo, with the Srilakan javelin thrower now setting a F46 World Record. Devendra Jhajharia responds with a massive 64.35m and has replaced Sundar Gurjar in the second spot.
