Nishad Kumar has been in great form recently, winning a silver medal in the men’s T-47 high jump at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, with a jump of 2.04 meters. The event was held on September 1, 2024, and this is his second Paralympic medal. He also won a silver medal at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games with a jump of 2.06 meters.
Tellingly, despite being 24, he still competes in the T-47 class, which requires athletes to have a “unilateral arm disability.” In Paris, he finished third behind American Roderick Townsend, who cleared 2.12 meters. Russian Georgy Magiyev took bronze with 2.00 meters.
