2019 lo tana first world championship lo personal best performance of 2m ichi, he made a place for himself in the Tokyo Paralympics. Aa championship lo bronze medal gelisi, chala early age loone success ni chusadu, Nishad. Tana goal ni chala clear ga pettukoni, dani kosam kastapadaadu. Ee season lo gold medal kottadam was him only aim.

This year, he participated in the Fazza International Grand Prix. He gave an outstanding performance in the tournament as he won a gold medal and also broke the Asian record with a jump of 2.06m. This win boosted his confidence and gave him more motivation for the Tokyo events.

But just like everything has its twists and turns, his journey also did. Dubai nunchi return aina tarvata, covid positive test aiyyadu. But his recovery was quick and he got back to the field in just a few days and made his way to Tokyo.

Looking at his great performances in the international levels, the whole Paralympic committee was very confident about him winning a medal. He coaches and mentors spoke about his great talent and hard work.
Here are some heart-warming pictures of his family celebrating after he won the medal in Tokyo earlier today.
