Haryana won a staggering 12 gold medals and grabbed the top spot on the second day of 17th National Para Athletics Championships at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium complex.
With Dharmendra's gold in the T-46 category of men's 800 meters on the opening day, Haryana have accumulated 13 gold medals, three silver and four bronze.
Haryana's dominance can be gauged by the fact that the next best team, Delhi, have so far won four gold, three silver and three bronze.
The highlight of the day was a stupendous effort by Maharashtra's Bhagyashree Mazire in the T-53 shot put category, where India's Deepa Malik had won silver in the Rio 2016 Paralympics.
Bhagyashree hurled the 'shot' for a distance of 4.67 meters to easily win gold. Deepa's effort in Rio was a personal best of 4.61 meters. She was far ahead of Bihar's Archana Kumari and Haryana's Indu, who won the silver and bronze with a throw of 3.55 and 3.39 meters, respectively.
Karnataka are third on the medals tally with three golds, three silver and one bronze.
