Pranav Soorma (born 1994) is an Indian para-athlete. He won the silver medal in the men's club throw F51 event at the 2024 Paris Paralympics. He also won the gold medal at the 2022 Asian Para Games.[1] At the event, he set an Asian Games record with a throw of 30.01 m.[2][3][4]

Early life

Soorma hails from Faridabad, Haryana. He did his schooling at St. Paul's School, Delhi.[5] He completed his post-graduation from Delhi School of Economics.[1] He works as an Assistant Manager in Bank of Baroda. In 2011 at the age of 16, Soorma met with an accident that injured his spinal cord.[6] His father, Sanjeev, quit his job to support his son to take up sports.[7] Athletes whose movement was affected to a high degree in the trunk, legs and hands are qualified for the F51 club throw event. They rely on their shoulders and arm to generate power and take the throw while seated.[8] Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated him for his resilience.[9] He is supported by sports NGO Olympic Gold Quest.

Career

Soorma won the Asian Para Games gold with a record on 23 October 2023.[6] Earlier in 2023, he also won gold in the Serbia Open. In 2022, he bagged silver and gold at the Tunisia Grand Prix. In 2019, he won silver at the Beijing Grand Prix.[6] In the inaugural Khelo India Para games, he improved his Asian record by throwing a distance of 33.54 for his gold medal in December 2023 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi.[10][11]
