PM Modi congratulates Deepthi Jeevanji for Paralympics bronze
Prime minister of india Narendra Modi used social media to congratulate Deepthi Jeevanji on her incredible bronze medal victory in the women's 400-meter t20 final on september 3 at the Paralympics in Paris. Modi highlighted her as a source of national pride and commended her for her tenacity and resolve.
One of the most impressive feats on Day 6 of the paris Paralympics was Jeevanji's bronze medal, which only became extended later in the day. It was India's third track medal at the Games. With a time of 55.82 seconds, she qualified for the podium behind Yulia Shuliar of ukraine and Aysel Onder of Turkey, who holds the world record. With a quick response time of 0.164 seconds, Jeevanji got off to a great start in the final and kept up a steady pace the entire way.
"Congratulations to Deepthi Jeevanji for her spectacular Bronze medal win in the Women's 400M t20 at #Paralympics2024! She is a source of inspiration for countless people. Her skills and tenacity are commendable," PM Modi said in his post.
Jeevanji had a great start, but in the last few steps of the race, Onder got the better of her, and she finished just 0.66 seconds behind the gold medallist. With tremendous tenacity and effort, Jeevanji—who had previously won gold at the Para Asian Games and the World Championships—made up ground and maintained second place for a large portion of the race's last third.
