We are proud & excited to share the news that Mariyappan Thangavelu and Varun Singh Bhat clinched gold and a bronze medal respectively in the men's high jump T-42 event at the ongoing Rio Paralympics.
In winning gold, Thangavelu made history by becoming the first Indian high-jumper to win a gold at the Paralympics, with a leap of 1.89 metres, while Bhati jumped his personal best of 1.86 metres to finish third.
Our own champ Sharad Kumar with a deep connection with Darjeeling (he studied at St. Pauls School) finished sixth.
Well Done, Champs! We are all proud of you!
