Sandeep Kumar is an Indian para athlete who won men’s 400m T64 gold at the 2026 Asian Para Games; the Prime Minister’s website described the result as India’s 100th medal at the Games.
The public result
A Prime Minister’s Office update dated 23 October congratulated Sandeep Kumar for winning gold in the men’s 400m T64 event and described his performance as a world record and India’s 100th medal at the Games.
The available official update supports those specific details. It does not supply a verified personal biography or the full competition result sheet, so this profile does not add an unconfirmed age, hometown or timing.
Why event classification matters
The T64 classification is part of para athletics’ sport classification system. It defines the eligible competition class; it is not a time, age or medal category by itself.
For records and exact timings, readers should consult the official event results and governing-body record list. The congratulatory post is useful confirmation of the public announcement, but it is not a substitute for the complete results database.
