Mohd Yasser (born 24 December 1993) is an Indian track and field para-athlete who competes in the Men's Shotput F46.
Early life[edit | edit source]
When Yasser was 8 years old, he lost his arm.[1]
Career[edit | edit source]
He represented India at the 2018 Asian Para Games in Jakarta, Indonesia where he won a bronze medal.[2] At World Para Athletics' 2021 Dubai Grand Prix, Yasser won with a gold medal with a performance of 14.58m.[3]
Yasser expressed his disappointment for not receiving the promised incentive of ā¹50 lakh (equivalent to ā¹54 lakh or US$75,000 in 2019) from the government in 2018.[4] The same was eventually given in 2020.[1]
