Narender Ranbir (born 10 July 1989) is an Indian Paralympic javelin thrower competing in F44 events.[1] He is supported by the GoSports Foundation through the Para Champions Programme ahead of his quest to win a medal for India at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[2]
Narender has had a deformity in his left leg by birth. Initially a runner, Narender had to give up athletics due to chronic back problems. His passion for sport saw him quickly switch to javelin throw.[3]
After taking to javelin throw, Narender has been consistently performing at the highest level. He finished sixth at the London Paralympics in 2012, after which he narrowly missed out on a medal at the World Championships in Lyon, finishing fourth. Narender's best performance came at the Asian Para Games in 2014 at Incheon, where he clinched the silver medal.[4]
Narender trains without a coach at the Sports Authority of India in Sonipat. He is one of India's top medal prospects at the 2016 Summer Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.[5]
