Indian para-athlete Dilip Gavit claimed his second gold medal at the Asian Para Games 2026 by winning the men’s 400m T47 event, as the 23-year-old defended his 2022 edition title.
In the men’s 400m T47 final, five out of eight participants were T46 athletes. T46 and T47 are standing athletes with upper-limb impairments, such as limb deficiency or amputation.
Dilip Gavit, the T46 athlete who won gold on Wednesday (21 October) after winning the men’s 100m T47 race, defended his men’s 400m T47 title after finishing the race in 48.27 seconds. Japanese Kakeru Ishida won the silver after finishing the race in 49.58 seconds, while Marufjon Murodulloev from Uzbekistan (50.03 [.029]) and Saman Subasinghe from Sri Lanka (50.03 [.029]) shared the bronze medal with their identical finishes. Both bronze medalists recorded their season-best performances.
Meanwhile, Iraqi athlete Juft Nader (50.48) had his personal best performance to finish in fifth place. In the meantime, another Indian athlete, Bhavikkumar Bharwad, was disqualified due to a second lane infringement.
