In the Men's F41 Javelin, Navdeep's medal was upgraded to gold at the Paris Paralympics.

Para-athlete Navdeep created history on Saturday in the French Capital when he won India's seventh gold medal in the Men's Javelin throw F41 category, upgrading his silver to a gold medal with a personal best distance of 47.32 meters. At first, Navdeep had trailed Iranian Beit Sayah Sadegh, who had set a record for the Paralympic Games with a height of 47.65 meters. The Iranian athlete was disqualified for breaking rule 8.1 of the World Para Athletics Rules and Regulations (Code of Conduct and Ethics), but the Indian javelin thrower's medal was upgraded as a result.

The regulation states that "World Para Athletics (WPA) is dedicated to upholding the greatest standards of morality, ethics, and behavior in the paralympic sport. It is the duty of all parties involved in the sport, including players, coaches, referees, and administrators, to preserve these standards and make sure that it is run in an impartial, truthful, and open manner. With a personal best throw, Havdeep went on to win the gold medal in the Men's Javelin F41 category. This is the first-ever gold medal won by India in the Paralympic Games Men's Javelin F41 division. India now has 29 medals total (7 gold, 9 silver, and 13 bronze).

Navdeep fouled first on Saturday, then on the second throw, he launched the spear 46.39 meters; on the third throw, he launched it 47.32 meters. After committing a foul, Navdeep was only able to run 46.06 meters before being flagged again to end his campaign.
Sun Pengxiang of China won the silver medal in 44.72 meters, while Wildan Nukhailawi of Iraq advanced to the bronze medal in 40.46 meters.

Navdeep is a gifted para-athlete from Panipat, Haryana, who has triumphed in sports despite facing obstacles due to his diminutive height. The 24-year-old studied B.A. Hindi (Hons.) at Delhi University after completing his education at Unique Public School.

Navdeep began his athletic career with athletics before concentrating solely on the javelin throw, motivated by his father's success as a national-level wrestler.
