India's Bhavanaben Ajabaji Chaudhary finished a commendable fifth in the women's javelin throw F46 final at the Paralympic Games on Friday, recording a personal best of 39.70 meters.

Bhavanaben started strong with a 37.31m throw, briefly holding third place. However, fierce competition from Netherlands' Noelle Roorda and others saw her fluctuate between fourth and sixth positions throughout the event.

Despite a stellar third attempt of 39.64m that momentarily placed her third, Bhavanaben ultimately landed in the fifth position after Noelle Roorda secured a 40.58m throw. Venezuela's Naibys Daniela Morillo Gil clinched gold with a record-breaking 43.77m, while Uzbekistan's Yigitalieva Shahinakhon and Great Britain's Hollie Arnold completed the podium.
