India's Manu finished sixth in the men's F37 shot put event with a throw of 13.86m in the Paris Paralympics on Friday.

Manu's best effort of the day came from his fourth attempt.

Uzbekistan's Marufkhujaev Kudratillokhon (16.37m) won the gold, while Tunisia's Ben Moslah Ahmed (15.40m) and Uzbekistan's Yuldashev Tolibboy (15.24m) took the silver and bronze, respectively.

The F37 category is for field athletes with moderately affected coordination and movement on one side.
