Rising Above 'Bauna' Taunts, How Navdeep Singh Made History With Paralympics Gold

Javelin thrower Navdeep Singh clinched a gold medal in the F41 classification at Paris Paralympics on Saturday.

Having suffered from dwarfism, Navdeep endured not just the usual rigours of training but cruel taunts from onlookers while growing up in his village in Haryana's Panipat district.
