India's Nishad Kumar won the silver medal in the men's high jump T46 event at the Tokyo Paralympics on Sunday.
Nishad registered a best jump of 2.06m to finish in second place, setting an Asian record in the process. American Roderick Townsend clinched gold with 2.15m, while his compatriot Dallas Wise also won the silver after he cleared the same height as Nishad of 2.06m.
