Pranav Soorma: Triumph Over Adversity with Paralympic Silver

Pranav Soorma, a quadriplegic athlete, celebrated a significant achievement by winning a silver medal in the club throw at the Paralympic Games. Despite his severe disability from a spinal cord injury, Soorma's grit and determination, along with his father's support, helped him secure this victory.

Pranav Soorma, an inspiring quadriplegic athlete, hailed his latest accomplishment as a silver medalist in the club throw at the Paralympic Games. Competing through immense physical challenges, Soorma's remarkable 34.59m throw earned him a podium finish.

His journey to this achievement began when a devastating accident at age 16 left him wheelchair-bound. With determination and perseverance, Soorma overcame the challenges of his condition, including the difficulty of gripping the throwing club, which required adhesive to maintain his hold.

The remarkable triumph at the Paralympics is a testament not only to Soorma's resilience but also to the dedication of his father, Sanjeev, who quit his job to support his son's athletic ambitions. Already a gold medalist at the Asian Para Games, Soorma's latest success brought him sheer joy and proved that hard work reaps rewards.
