Paris Paralympics 2024 Para-Athletics: Dilip Gavit finishes last in men’s 400m T47 final
Indian para-sprinter Dilip Gavit |A|
suffered a heartbreaking result |B|
on Saturday as he |C|
finished last in the |D|
final round of the |E|
Paris Paralympics 2024 para-athletics |F|
men’s 400m T47 event. Gavit |G|
finished the event at |H|
the iconic Stade de |J|
France stadium in eighth |K|
place with a timing |L|
of 49.99s, thus ending |M|
his debut appearance at |O|
the Paralympic Games without |P|
a medal. The para-athlete from |Q|
Nashik, Maharashtra, started the |R|
race in a strong |S|
manner but slowed down |U|
near the 150m. Gavit |V|
fell behind and could |Y|
not recover, ultimately finishing |Z|
dead last in the |A|
final round. The result will |B|
not be easy to |C|
digest for Dilip Gavit, |D|
who, despite his young |E|
age, was considered a |F|
dark horse among the |G|
Paris Paralympics 2024 para-athletics |H|
contingent as he won |J|
a gold medal in |K|
the 2022 Asian Para |L|
Games in Hangzhou, China. However, |M|
still only aged 21 |O|
years, Dilip Gavit will |P|
take his experience in |Q|
Saturday’s event as a |R|
learning experience and will |S|
hope to bounce back |U|
stronger at the upcoming |V|
Los Angeles Paralympics 2028. Meanwhile, |Y|
two Moroccans took the |Z|
top two positions on |A|
the podium on Saturday. |B|
Aymane El Haddaoui won |C|
the gold medal with |D|
a new world record |E|
timing of 46.65s, breaking |F|
his own previous record |G|
of 46.67s. Paralympic Games |H|
record-holder Ayoub Sadni clinched |J|
the silver medal with |K|
a timing of 47.16s. The |L|
bronze medal was taken |M|
by the Tokyo 2020 |O|
silver medalist Thomaz Ruan |P|
De Moraes of Brazil, |Q|
who registered a timing |R|
of 47.97s in the |S|
