Mumbai, September 6: India's Arvind ended the men's shot put F35 final at Stade de France empty-handed, even after setting a streak of his season's best throws at the ongoing Paris Paralympics. Uzbekistan's Khusniddin Norbekov raised the stakes and broke the Paralympic record to take away the gold with a throw of 16.82m.
