She had also won the gold in the\u00a0Hangzhou Asian Games 2023, clocking 56.69s to take the top prize home.<\/p>\n<p>Her world record of 55.07s stood until yesterday, i.e. 2nd September before Turkey&#8217;s\u00a0Aysel Onder took it away from the Indian in Heat 2. Onder clocked 54.96s to take the World record. Ukraine&#8217;s\u00a0Yuliia Shuliar clinched the gold with a late surge in the race, clocking her personal best of 55.16s to take the top prize.

In the qualification, Deepthi had topped Heat 1 with a timing of\u00a055.45s to qualify for the final.<\/p>\n<p>India&#8217;s president\u00a0Droupadi Murmu also congratulated Deepthi for her medal in Paris.\u00a0&#8220;Congratulations to Deepthi Jeevanji on winning bronze medal in women&#8217;s 400m &#8211; T20 event at the Paris 2024 Paralympics. She has demonstrated resilience and dedication in the face of several adversities. I wish her still higher achievements in the future,&#8221; the President wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Deepthi is the first Indian with an intellectual impairment to take part in the Paralympic Games. She belongs from\u00a0Warangal in\u00a0Telangana and is the daughter of\u00a0daily-wage labourers J Yadagiri and J Dhanalaxmi. Deepthi took the sport five years ago when she was spotted by a coach in the Sports Authority of India\u00a0&#8211; N Ramesh. The coach began to work with the athlete.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She was spotted in a school meet through a PE teacher in Warangal. When I told them to send Deepthi, they said they didn\u2019t have money for bus fare. I told them to just board a bus and give me the phone number of the conductor,&#8221; coach Ramesh said during an interview with PTI.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After that, I explained to the bus conductor to let her board the bus and told him I would pay the fare when she reached Hyderabad. During the 130 km journey from Warangal to Hyderabad, I kept calling the bus conductor inquiring about her safety,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/other\/deepthi-jeevanji-clinches-bronze-in-womens-400m-event-at-paris-paralympic-games-2024-2024-09-03-950239\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : GETTY Deepthi Jeevanji.
