Dayawanti Finishes Fourth In Women’s Discus Throw F64 With Asian Record; Gnezdilov Takes F40 Shot Put Gold With World Record
Shot Put F40 World Record: Dayawanti had the best placing, a 27.94m effort on her last attempt saw her finish fourth in the women’s Discus Throw F64 final. It fetched her the Asian Record, but 1.51m separated her from the bronze medallist, Alicia Guerrero of America.
Ayush Verma was fifth in the men’s Shot Put F5 final, his best effort of 7.23m falling 97cm short of the bronze medal distance attained by Ales Kisy (Czechia). Rongali Ravi, a seasoned campaigner, was unable to be in the mix in the dramatic men’s Shot Put F40 final, with his season’s best effort of 10.10m falling 76cm short of a podium finish.
Meanwhile, Denis Gnezdilov strode the shot put circle like a colossus, gunning down the men’s F40 world record twice in the Para World Athletics Championships at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Monday. Each of his five throws after the opening 10.66m effort was good enough for him to get the gold.
