Paralympic high jump champion Praveen Kumar is targeting the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympic Games as his next big goal. Despite his success, he expressed surprise at how far he has come in para athletics. Praveen is determined to secure a gold medal at the World Para Athletics Championships, a title he is yet to claim.
His focus remains on the upcoming Paralympic Games in 2028. Praveen, a two-time Paralympic medalist, shared how his high jump journey began unexpectedly during his school days in Class 9. His friends encouraged him to try high jump due to his background in volleyball, and he excelled at the event.
Although faced with initial resistance due to his disability, Praveen’s determination and family’s support paved the way for his participation in high jump competitions. Overcoming objections from some competitors, he went on to win his first medal, marking the start of his successful journey towards Paralympic glory.
