Just three months before the Paralympic Games, high jumper Praveen Kumar was grappling with a groin injury during the World Championships, which stopped him from going all out for gold, but he still managed a third-place finish — and the big ticket to Paris.
Not knowing what the future had in store for him, he gave it his best shot in the limited time he had to overcome the injury. He was helped in his endeavour by a positive mindset and the wholehearted support of his coach Satyapal Singh, who asked him to immediately go for an MRI to nail the problem.
