In the 100m T47 event, India had a one-two as Dilip Gavit claimed gold with a Games record time of 10.71 secs while Mohammed Basil ended second with a time of 10.83 secs.
Just under an hour before that, Sreeshankar M, who was a silver medallist at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, won India another silver in the men’s long jump final on Wednesday. Compatriot Lokesh Satyanathan ended in fifth spot.
