PARIS: India's Sachin Sarjerao Khilari on Wednesday added a Paralympic silver to his world title in the men's shot put F46 event with an Asian record distance of 16.32m at the ongoing Games here.
The 34-year-old Khilari achieved his best throw of the day in his second attempt to better his own earlier Asian record of 16.30m, which he set while winning gold in the World Para-Athletics Championships in Japan in May.
Greg Stewart of Canada defended his Tokyo Paralympic gold with a throw of 16.38m.
Luka Bakovic of Croatia took the bronze with 16.27m.
Khilari's silver is the 11th medal from para-athletics in the ongoing Games.
He had also won a gold in last year's Asian Para Games in China.
F46 classification is for athletes with arm deficiency, impaired muscle power, or impaired passive range of movement in arms, with athletes competing in a standing position.
Khilari has an impaired left hand.
