Pranav Soorma takes club-throw gold; Dharambir wins bronze

Pranav Soorma retained gold with a new Games record in the men's club throw F51 event at the Asian Para Games, while Dharambir won bronze, according to an October 23 PMO statement. Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated both athletes.

Record attributed to the gold-winning performance

The statement specifically links the new Games record to Soorma's performance. It reports Dharambir's bronze separately and does not claim a record for him in this announcement.

The release identifies the event as club throw F51, which is distinct from the javelin events reported elsewhere at the Games. It provides no throwing distances or full rankings. The confirmed information in this official account is the two medals and Soorma's Games-record result; a distance-by-distance analysis would need the detailed results.
