Paralympics: Nishad Kumar wins silver in men's high jump, 2nd medal at Games

India's Nishad Kumar, 24, added to the silver medal in the men's high jump T47 event at the Tokyo Paralympics three years ago. Nishad achieved a season-best jump of 2.04m, finishing behind USA's Roderick Townsend, who also won the gold medal in Tokyo. Nishad appeared dejected after failing the third attempt to clear 2.08m. However, Townsend rushed toward him and shared an embrace, after which both the high jumpers smiled.
