Women's 100m T13 Heat 2 to begin shortly
We have Indian athlete Simran competing in this.
Shot Put update
The WR in women's F34 Shot Put is 8.82m. It will be interesting to see how the other competitors fare given that they have to cross 7m to beat Bhagyashri Jadhav.
Bhagyashri Jadhav attempt 6
She ends her campaign with a massive attempt of 7m!! This makes it her PB and gives her the start that she wanted.
Bhagyashri Jadhav attempt 5
6.54m is the throw but this too is okay as she can build on this with a better final throw.
Bhagyashri Jadhav attempt 4
6.59m and a PB for the Indian! Much better from her in the 4th attempt
Bhagyashri Jadhav attempt 3
Another foul throw from Bhagyashri who like many other Indian athletes, is having problems with her technique.
