This note is verified. The reel was posted at 5:28 pm IST on 20 October 2026. The Asian Para Games are in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. For India's medal events this is the third day. Monday's day-one note is 11 medals, including four golds. The day-two note, posted at 11:28 am IST, is Deepthi Jeevanji's 400m T20 gold.

Pranav Soorma won the men's discus in the combined class F51/52/53. The throw in the caption and in India Today is 11.66 metres. The caption says India Today calls that an Asian record. India Today's own article of 20 October calls the same mark a Games record and an Asian record. Ram Ratan Singh took silver at 10.35 metres. India Today says the event mixed more than one class, and that the places were decided on Raza points. Raza points are the scoring India Today describes for a combined class, so the longest throw in metres is not, by itself, the ranking. F51, F52 and F53 are seated throwing classes. The letters name how the athletes throw from a seated position. They are not a comment on one athlete beyond that class.

Simran Sharma won the women's 200 metres in the T12 class. Tejalben Damor took bronze in the same race. Sportstar reports both placings. T12, like F11, is a class for athletes with a visual impairment.

Two further bronzes are in the reel. Himanshu Nandal's is in the men's 400 metres freestyle, class S11. The desk note gives the time as 5:10.91 and attributes it to Asianet/ANI. A syndicated report carried by NDTV prints the same 5:10.91. Praveen Sharma's is in the men's shot put F11, at 13.86 metres. The desk note calls that mark a debut and a personal best. The day-two note, drawing on Mint and Sportstar, already recorded a bronze for him in the shot put F11 at 13.86 metres. This reel lists that result again. It does not describe a second throw.

In archery, Sheetal Devi and Payal Nag beat Thailand 151-135. India Today's live page of 20 October carries that score. They reached the compound women's doubles final against China, set for 21 October. The caption says a medal is assured and that the colour will be known after the final. Reaching the final is what the reports record. The colour is still open.

The frame on this page is from the reel. The caption credits the video to SAI Media and says it is Praveen Sharma's ceremony for the shot put F11 bronze. It is not Pranav Soorma's throw, and it is not Simran Sharma's race.
