For all those of you who have joined us, Sportskeeda would like to thank you for the support you have given these Paralympic athletes.
What a moment for all Indians this is. If you are looking for inspiration. Look no far. Devendra Jhajharia is your man. What an achievement. What an achievement.
He has WON ITTTTTTTTT
Herath Priyantha is going to get bronze.
The sixth attempts are yet to be thrown by the top three but it is unlikely that anything is going to change. Such is the confidence with which Devendra is throwing.
We are getting closer and closer to the moment ladies and gentlemen. DEVENDRA JHAJHARIA is going to become the first ever Indian to win two gold medals at Paralympics/Olympics.
1. Devendra (India) - 63.97
2. Chunliang Guo (China) - 59.81
3. Herath Priyantha Dinesh (Sri Lanka) - 58.23
Five attempts are over and the top three remain the same.
Top three after 4 attempts:
1. Devendra (India) - 63.97
2. Chunliang Guo (China) - 59.81
3. Herath Priyantha Dinesh (Sri Lanka) - 58.23
Guo throws 59.81 in his 4th attempt.
Guo betters his throw in the fourth attempt but is not even close to Devendra.
Nothing as he stays in third position. Ladies and gentlemen, this is going to be a historic day for Indian sport and there are no two ways about it.
Herath from Sri Lanka now up for his fourth attempt.
Rinku is in 5th place still after 4 attempts.
There is no one even close to the top three here.
The fourth set of attempts have begun here.
Should things remain the way they are, we could have our first ever two-time gold medalist in Paralympic/Olympic history.
Top 3 after 3 attempts:
1. Devendra (India) - 63.97
2. Chunliang Guo (China) - 59.00
3. Priyantha Herath (Sri Lanka) - 58.23
This is scintillating stuff. Unbelievable!!!
Devendra has been stunning and is now 4.97 meters ahead of the second placed Guo.
Devendra throws 63.97 in his third attempt to set a new World Record.
DEVENDRAAA YOU BEAUTY!!!!! WORLD RECORD
This competition seems to be going through the paces quite fast. This is exciting stuff.
Rinku throws 53.59 in his third attempt to climb up to fifth place.
Devendra has his third attempt remaining and is in gold position.
NOTHING. Herath remains in third place.
Sri Lankan Herath is up next with his third attempt.
He throws 59.00 and stays in silver position.
Guo is up for his third attempt.
The third set of attempts is about to begin.
Like I said, there is a big gap between the top three and the rest.
Top 3:
1. Devendra (India) - 60.70
2. Chunliang Guo (China) - 58.95
3. Herath Priyantha (Sri Lanka) - 58.23
Parity has been restored here.
So what if the Chinese is World No. 1? Devendra is no less.
Devendra is back into the top spot here.
COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a 60.70
Time for Devendra to throw here.
The top three are not going to change in my opinion.
Devendra still has his second attempt remaining and he is in third position.
Herath from Sri Lanka throws 58.23 in second attempt. This is getting better and better.
He has thrown a distance of 58.95 in his second attempt. Can Devendra better it?
Chunliang Guo has leapfrogged into the top spot.
If you look at it carefully, the distance between the top three and the rest is quite a lot.
The second set of throws has begun.
Just one athlete left in the first set of attempts and India is at the gold medal spot.
There is one bad news though, Sundar Singh Gurjar did not start the event.
Top 3 at the moment:
1. Devendra (India) - 57.25
2. Herath Priyantha Dinesh (Sri Lanka) - 54.67
3. Chunliang Guo (China) - 54.19
This is some phenomenal throwing by Devendra here.
WOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!! Devendra with a throw of 57.25 meters and that puts him on top.
Just to remind you, here are the final top three:
1. Devendra (India) - 63.97 Gold
2. Guo (China) - 59.93 Silver
3. Herath (Sri Lanka) - 58.23
