India’s Parmod Bijarnia claimed the silver medal in the men’s 1500m T46 final at the Asian Para Games on Friday, clocking 4:09.65 at the Nagoya City Mizuho Park Athletic Stadium.
Sri Lanka’s Puwakpitikande P. Wahumpurage won the gold with a Games Record time of 4:03.25, finishing 6.40 seconds ahead of the Indian. Parmod, however, stayed clear of the rest of the field to secure a podium finish.
Philippines’ King James Reyes took the bronze with a personal best of 4:13.81, 10.56 seconds behind the winner.
The T46 classification in para-athletics is for standing athletes with upper-limb impairments, such as a single-arm above or below-elbow amputation or a similar severe functional impairment affecting the shoulder or elbow.
