And Sam Grewe fails to clear the 1.91m mark in the third attempt too. But he walks away with the gold medal. The silver medal goes to India's Mariyappan Thangavelu. Sharad Kumar of India clinches bronze medal. Another good outing for India in the track and field events at the Tokyo Paralympics 2020.

And another failed attempt by Sam Grewe to clear the 1.91m mark. So only one more chance left with him to break his own World Record. After the second failed attempt, Sam Grewe had a little chat with his coach. He is now ready for the third and the final attempt.

Sam Grewe fails in the first chance to clear the 1.91m mark.

The medals have been decided but Sam Grewe is not done yet! He is now attempting to break his own World Record. The World Record in T63 is 1.90m. We will have to wait and watch if Sam Grewe can better his own World Record.
