Bhutan’s female shot put athlete at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games set a new personal best today. However, she failed to qualify for the next round. Positioned in a group with some of the best shot putters in the world, Chimi Dema threw a distance of a little more than five meters.
With today’s event, Bhutan’s journey at the Paralympic Games has come to end. Officials from the Bhutan Paralympic Committee said that all three Bhutanese Paralympians at the Games gave their best.
The athletes and officials will arrive in the country on the 13th of this month.
