Asian Para Games: Simran Grabs Second Gold With Games Record in 100m T12

Nagoya: Indian sprinter Simran collected her second gold medal at the Asian Para Games by winning the women's 100m T12 competition with a Games record time of 12.02 seconds here on Wednesday.

Simran had also won the 200m gold with a new Games record on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, she once again finished ahead of Iran's Hajar Safarzadeh, who clocked 12.30sec. Indonesia's Made Ni Putri finished third with a timing of 12.51sec.

T12 classification covers athletes with moderate visual impairment.

The 26-year-old Simran, who won a bronze in the 2024 Paris Paralympics, is on a comeback trail with her new guide Shivam after her previous guide Umar Saifi was banned for a doping violation.

Simran had won silver medals in both her events in the 2023 Hangzhou edition of the Games.
