The Free Press Journal|September 04, 2024
A message from from Neeraj Chopra not to try anything new during competition worked wonders for Sumit Antil who heeded to the superstar javelin thrower's advice to win back-to-back gold in the Paralympics here.
Neeraj's 'don't try anything new' message worked

Antil on Monday became the first Indian man and second from the country to defend the Paralympics title as he won the F64 category gold with a Games record of 70.59m.

The 26-year-old world record holder from Sonipat in Haryana, who lost his left leg below the knee after he was involved in a motorbike accident in 2015, bettered his own earlier Paralympic best of 68.55m set in Tokyo while winning the gold three years ago.

His world record stands at 73.29m.

Antil said he and Chopra interact with each other at least once in a month, discussing about their sport and how to get better in it.
