Dr Karni Singh Shooting Range: Pranav Soorma of Haryana bettered his Asia Para Games mark to clinch gold in F51 category men’s club throw for F51 category. In what was a Khelo India Para Games 2023 highlight on Wednesday, the Haryana athlete threw a distance of 33.54 metres at the JLN Stadium.

In Hangzhou, Soorma won the gold with an effort of 30.01 metres. India’s Dharambir had so far held the Asian record of 31.09 metres.

Soorma's journey into para sports is a remarkable testimony to his incredible determination and resilience. At the age of 16, he endured a life-altering accident that left him with a spinal cord injury and paralysis. In 2018, he made a courageous choice to pursue a career in sports.
