Tokyo Paralympics Live: Devendra Jhajharia eyes historic 3^rd Gold: In 2016, with his gigantic 63.97m throw, Devendra Jhajharia stamped his authority at Rio Paralympics to bag his second gold medal in the Paralympics. His first came in 2004 Athens but since then, he had to wait for another medal for a long time. While many believed the Indian Paralympic legend will call it quits, Jhajharia was determined for more. Follow Devendra Jhajharia’s F46 javelin Throw event at Tokyo Paralympics Live on InsideSport.co and LIVE streaming on DD Sports.

Tokyo Paralympics Live: Devendra Jhajharia eyes historic 3^rd Gold: At age 8 when his left hand had to be amputated having come in contact with a high-power electric wire, a normal life seemed a far-fetched idea. But he didn’t lose hope. He worked hard and wait to turn his life around. He did so in Athens 2004 winning the gold medal. Then he had to pull out of 2008 Paralympics due to a shoulder injury. Set for a comeback, Devendra Jhajharia suffered a shoulder injury while training in Finland ahead of the Rio Paralympics. But it could not stop him from shattering his own World Record and win his second Gold medal.

This time, age is not on his side but his will is. He will be up against his two own countrymen who have followed his footsteps and are strong contenders but Jhajharia isn’t going to go down easily. He believes he can still win the gold medal in F46 classification.

Tokyo Paralympics Live: Devendra Jhajharia eyes historic 3^rd Gold: Devendra Jhajharia will face tough competitions from Sundar Singh Gurjar and Ajeet Singh. The two have watched him closely and will look to trump him at his own game. But the special one to watch out for will be Ajeet Singh. He is also the reigning World Champion while Gurjar is a former world champion and anything short of best show could cost Jhajharia.
