Iran Press/ Europe: Officials of Iran's track and field team protested the disqualification of Sadegh Beit Sayah after winning the gold medal at the Paris Paralympic Games.
Beit Sayah had won gold with a new Paralympic Record throw of 47.64m while Navdeep finished second with 47.32m but the Iranian was later disqualified in a controversial move.
In a decision that came as a shocker to many, Sayyah had his medal snatched away for displaying a religious flag during his victory celebration on Saturday.
Navdeep Singh’s silver medal in men’s javelin throw F41 at the Paris 2024 Paralympics was upgraded after Iran’s Sadegh Beit Sayah, the gold medallist, was disqualified. 219
