     while Sharad Kumar, who hails from Patna, clinched the bronze with an effort of 1.83 meteres. Sharad Kumar recorded his season-best jumps. Mariyappan Thangavelu won silver by clearing 1.86 metres, Sam Grewe, the gold winner from the United States of America, succeeded in soaring above 1.88m in his third attempt.

Meanwhile, Sharad Kumar, who hails from Patna in Bihar, suffered paralysis in his left leg as a two-year-old after being administered a spurious polio vaccine. He is a two-time Asian Para Games gold-medallist.

Our Paralympians continue to make us proud! India is delighted by the success of Mariyappan Thangavelu and Sharad Kumar for winning silver and bronze medals respectively in men's high jump at #Paralympics. Your resolve and perseverance are an inspiration for all. Congratulations!
