  • Meet Nishad Kumar: From Losing Hand In Accident To Winning Consecutive Paralympic Medals- Know All About His Inspirational Journey | Other

    Paralympics 2024: India’s Nishad Kumar clinched a silver medal in the men’s high jump T47 event at the Paris Paralympics, adding to his silver from the Tokyo Paralympics three years ago. The 24-year-old achieved a season-best jump of 2.04 meters, finishing behind the USA’s Roderick Townsend, who also claimed the gold in Tokyo. Nishad’s impressive performance saw him dominate the 11-man field in the men’s high jump T47 event. However, Townsend outperformed with a season-best jump of 2.12 meters to secure the gold medal. Despite missing his third attempt at clearing 2.08 metres, Nishad shared a warm moment with Townsend, who embraced him, bringing smiles to both competitors’ faces.

    Who Is Nishad Kumar? How Did He Overcome A Life-Altering Accident?

    Born on October 3, 1999, in Una, Himachal Pradesh, Nishad Kumar faced a significant challenge early in life. At just six years old, he lost his right hand in an accident involving a grass-cutting machine. Despite this life-changing incident, Nishad’s spirit and determination remained unbroken. Inspired by his mother, who was a state-level volleyball player and discus thrower, Nishad’s passion for sports only grew stronger.

    Finding His Path In Athletics

    Nishad’s journey in sports began with wrestling, but he soon found his true calling in athletics, initially experimenting with javelin throw before settling on high jump. His athletic talents quickly caught the attention of coaches, and by 2017, he was receiving professional training. Nishad made his international debut at the Asian Youth Para Games in the same year, where he won a gold medal, marking the beginning of his successful career in high jump.

    Education and Athletic Achievements

    Nishad’s commitment to both sports and academics is evident from his educational background. He studied at DAV College in Chandigarh, then continued his education at Himachal Pradesh University and Lovely Professional University, focusing on physical education. His dedication to his sport soon brought him success at the senior level. In 2019, he won a bronze medal at the World Para Athletics Championships and gold at the Dubai Grand Prix, signaling his arrival on the international stage.

    Making History: From Tokyo to Paris

    Nishad’s career reached a pivotal moment at the Tokyo Paralympics, where he won a silver medal in the men’s high jump T47 event and now after 4 years he clinched another silver medal in the men’s high jump T47 event at the Paris Paralympics. Nishad’s silver not only brought him personal glory but also added to India’s growing reputation in the international para-athletics arena.

  • Olympic Rankings Explained: How Pakistan Is Ahead of India Despite Winning Only 1 Medal Compared To India’s 6? , Other

    Paris Olympics 2024: Aman Sehrawat has secured India’s sixth medal at the ongoing Paris Olympics 2024, bringing home a bronze. With this addition, India currently holds the 66th position in the medal standings. As it stands, India has earned one silver and five bronze medals. The sole silver was clinched by Neeraj Chopra in the men’s javelin throw final on August 8, with a throw of 89.45 meters. Chopra, who won gold at the Tokyo Olympics, was outperformed by Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem, who set a new Olympic record with a throw of 92.97 meters. This gold medal marked Pakistan’s entry into the medal tally, propelling them to 56th position, surpassing India in the rankings.

    Why Is Pakistan Ranked Above India In Olympics 2024?

    Nadeem’s remarkable performance brought Pakistan to the 53rd spot on the medal tally, having secured gold. Meanwhile, India, with its five bronze and one silver, is now ranked 64th. The Indian contingent had several opportunities to win gold but fell short.

    Historically, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) ranks countries based on the number of gold medals they have won. If countries are tied for gold medals, rankings are determined by the number of silver medals, with bronze medals serving as the last tiebreaker. For instance, China is currently leading with 78 medals due to their 32 golds, despite the US having more total medals (108), including 31 golds. The US is second because they have fewer gold medals compared to China.

    If countries are tied for gold, silver, and bronze medals, they share the same rank. This is evident with France and Great Britain, who are currently tied in fourth place, each with 14 gold, 20 silver, and 22 bronze medals.

    India’s Olympic history includes seven medals from the Tokyo Olympics, with one gold, marking the country’s best performance to date. Overall, India has accumulated 38 Olympic medals since Norman Pritchard won two silvers in the 1900 Paris Games. Pakistan’s tally stands at 11, with four golds, three silvers, and four bronzes.

    Among India’s notable athletes, Manu Bhaker won the first medal for the country at Paris 2024, becoming the first Indian woman to secure a shooting medal at the Olympics. Bhaker also clinched a mixed team 10m air pistol bronze with Sarabjot Singh, making her the first Indian to win two medals in a single edition of the Games.

    How the Olympic Ranking System Works?

    The Olympic ranking system prioritizes countries based on the number of gold medals won. If nations are tied in gold medals, the ranking is then determined by the number of silver medals, followed by bronze if needed. In cases where countries have identical counts of gold, silver, and bronze medals, they share the same rank.
