Asian Para Games 2026: Men’s Discus Throw F51/F52/F53 – Pranav Soorma Wins Gold With Asian Record; Ram Ratan Singh Claims Silver

The F51 to F57 classification goes to the athletes who compete in a seated position and who have lower body impairments, limb deficiencies, impaired muscle power, impaired range of movement, or leg length differences. In the case of an insufficient number of competitors in a specific classification event, the similar classifications can be clubbed, as we saw with F51 to F53 athletes in this particular men’s discus throw final event.  

In the case of multiple classifications clubbing, instead of the best-scoring performance, the highest successful throw in the case of the discus throw, RAZA points determined the winner.
