India added a gold and a silver in a single race at the Asian Para Games 2026 on Thursday, as Dilip Mahadu Gavit won the men's 400m T47 final in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, and fellow Indian Bhavikkumar Bharwad finished second, The Times of Bengal reported.

Gavit clocked 48.27 seconds for gold, Bharwad took silver in 49.31 seconds, and the bronze went to host nation Japan's Ishida Kakeru in 49.58 seconds. Republic World independently confirmed Gavit's winning time of 48.27 seconds, noting it was only 0.05 seconds outside his personal best.

This was Gavit's second consecutive gold medal in the T47 400m at the Asian Para Games, having also won the event at the 2022 Hangzhou Games. He has been in sublime form at these Games — on Wednesday he also won the 100m T47 gold, Republic World reported.

The T47 category is for athletes with a below-elbow amputation, wrist amputation, or a similar upper-limb impairment affecting one arm. The one-two finish further boosted India's medal tally at the Games, where para athletics has been the contingent's biggest contributor.
