It would not be wrong to consider India's performance in Paris Paralympics as the most successful and best till date. This is because India has won medals here, which it had never won in any Paralympics before. It was possible for India to do so because of the players who have really performed brilliantly in Paris Paralympics. One such player is Sharad Kumar who comes from Muzaffarpur, Bihar. Sharad, who is handicapped with one leg, won silver for India on 3 September. This is the same Sharad Kumar, whose dream of becoming an IAS was also shattered due to being stuck in Ukraine.

Stuck in Ukraine, dream of becoming an IAS shattered!

It is known that Sharad Kumar has been a topper in studies. And, this is the reason why he was inclined towards UPSC exam. It was 2020, when he was preparing for Tokyo Paralympics in Ukraine. At the same time, Corona spread all over the world. Like other countries, Ukraine also imposed lockdown. On the other hand, Tokyo Paralympics also got postponed. In such a situation, Sharad, who was training in Ukraine, got badly stuck there. He was away from his family. Due to the lockdown in Ukraine, he could not reach India on time and could not even fill the UPSC form.

Now he could not appear for the exam without filling the form. And, he could not become an IAS without passing the exam.

The color of Tokyo's medal changed in Paris

After this, it is not known whether he tried to become an IAS by giving UPSC exam or not. Yes, he definitely moved forward earning a name in the world of sports with the help of one leg. Sharad Kumar is currently in the news due to his amazing performance in Paris Paralympics. There he won the silver medal by jumping 1.88 meters in the men's high jump T63 event.
