High Jumper Nishad Kumar Focuses On 'excellence' At Para Worlds, Records Can Follow!
Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training: Para Asian Games champion Nishad Kumar, who holds an Asian record in the Men’s High Jump T47 category, is not mulling over setting a world record. Instead, he aims to give his best at the upcoming World Para Athletics Championships, which will be held from May 17 to 25 in Kobe, Japan.
Nishad bagged a gold medal in the Men's High Jump T47 category, a classification for athletes with unilateral upper limb impairment, at the Asian Para Games last year in China. He claimed the gold medal with a best jump of 2.02m.
"I haven't given it much thought; time will tell how it turns out. However, my preparation has been excellent. I won the bronze medal at the 2019 World Championship, and in the 2023 World Championship in Paris, I earned the silver. This year's training has been significantly better compared to previous years. I'm not focused on breaking any records; it depends on the day, but I will give it my all," Nishad told IANS when asked if he would be aiming for a world record in Japan.
