Nishchay delivered an outstanding performance at the Indian Open Throws in Patiala, dominating the U-18 throwing events.
On the second day of competition, Nishchay clinched gold in the men’s U-18 discus throw with a massive personal best of 63.90 metres.
The throw came agonizingly close to the long-standing national record of 64.09 metres, set by Arjun in 2010 — missing it by just 0.19 metres, less than 20 centimetres.
A day earlier, the young thrower had already secured gold in the men’s U-18 shot put with another personal best of 19.78 metres.
Two events, two victories, and two personal bests — an exceptional outing that signals the arrival of one of India’s most promising young throwers.
