Jewar boy who honed high jump skills on sand patch wins Asian Para gold
Praveen Kumar, a 20-year-old with a limb deformity, won gold for India in high jump at the Asian Para Games. Standing at just five feet and four inches tall, Praveen's achievement is even more remarkable. Despite facing challenges, he pursued his passion for sports and took up high jump. With the support of his coach, he trained diligently, even during the pandemic, using video calls and practicing on a homemade sand and mud patch. Praveen's victory is a proud moment for his coach and the entire team.
