With the decision, India have now bagged their 7th Gold medal at the Paris Paralympics 2024. What makes it even more astonishing is the fact that India won a total of 6 medals at the recently-concluded Paris Olympics 2024, and the Indian Para athletes have surpassed that mark just by their Gold medals.

India's record-breaking run at the Paris Paralympics 2024 have now seen them climb up to 16th in the Medals Tally and are behind Spain on the basis of Silver medal counts. The European nation has 10 Silver medals, in comparison to our 9.

Iran's Sadageh Sayah Beit Creates Controversy With 'Offensive' Gestures

The code of conduct shown by Iran's Sadageh Sayah Beit in the aftermath of winning the Gold medal in the Men's Javelin Throw - F41 Final was found to be offensive, threatening, and inappropriate, as the Para athlete made gestures citing 'slit of throat' and raised the flag of Hamas at the arena.

Now, as per the rule book, the officials have deemed the act 'Unsporting and Improper Conduct' and therefore, disqualify the Iranian on the basis of violation of R8.1 rule.

The Iranian athlete, Beit Sayah Sadegh also did a slit-thrøat celebration, apparently towards the audience, apart from displaying the controversial flag.

Under no circumstances should such behaviour be allowed in global events.
