Defending her World Para Athletics Championships club throw F51 gold on home soil here at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Saturday, Ekta Bhyan wasn’t happy with her first three attempts. It left her in fourth spot. That’s when her coach Amit Saroha, India’s former two-time Asian Para Games champion in the event, shouted instructions from the stands. It did the trick. 

Ekta produced a 19.60m throw on her next attempt to move into the silver-medal position and sealed it with an improvement to 19.80m on her last attempt to complete a hat-trick of WPAC medals.
