Khelo India Para Games: Gujarat's visually impaired long jumper Jagdish Parmar came up with a gold-winning show in the biggest stadium he has participated in his life so far.

In awe of the massive and world-class Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi, Parmar produced a 4.59-metre jump to strike gold in the T11-13 category at the first Khelo India Para Games 2023.

One of the best things that has emerged from these Games is how para athletes want to get better with competition. Parmar has been no different. He dreams of a medal at the Paralympics.
