Rio de Janeiro - Deepa Malik, the first Indian woman to clinch a Paralympic medal says her F-53 shot put silver is a result of being daring enough to dream.Deepas best throw of 4.61m from her six attempts which was her personal best, was enough to clinch the silver medal behind Fatema Nedham of Bahrain, who threw 4.76m.I dared to dream and I have determination to work hard and the passion and perseverance to follow that dream. Women often lose that and I have ensured that my family is not neglected, my children are doing well too, Deepa said.A paraplegic, paralysed from waist down, Deepa is married to an Army man and is a mother of two. The 45-year-old, the oldest member of Indias contingent, was consigned to the wheelchair 17 years ago after being operated for a spinal tumour.She underwent 31 surgeries, which was healed after 183 stitches between her waist and legs.I am very happy to win this medal and I am so glad that I could do this for my country. I really want to thank my coaches and my trainers, Sports Authority of India, and the Sports Ministry for funding my training so beautifully.I also want to thank my husband for being my skill trainer and my daughters for being my strength and motivation.I am so eager to come back to India, she said.Deepa had won national and international medals in swimming, before switching to athletics in 2009.I was the first biker, first swimmer, first rallyist (rally driver) and I am going to be the first Paralympian medalist. This is huge. I give it to my daughters. I give it to my husband, my trainer, my country. I am so excited, she said.Deepa would have taken the gold, if not for a mighty third throw of 4.76m from Bahrains Fatema. In 2009 Deepa became the first person with paraplegia to ride in one of the worlds highest and most difficult motor rallies in the Himalayas.Deepas success comes after two Indian men high jumpers Mariyappan Thangavelu and Bhati Varun Singh won gold and bronze respectively at the Olympic Stadium on Friday. Deepa hoped that her achievements would inspire others to beat adversity.This is very significant. I hope my journey and the medal can serve as an inspiration for differently-abled individuals to break out from their social boundaries and pursue their dreams, she said.I remember when I first had the tumour all those years back, people thought I would be restricted to my house throughout my life with servants looking after my daily needs, she added.Deepa said she always wanted to be independent despite her disability....I wanted to break out from that mould and took to swimming, motorsports and eventually javelin and shot put. My goal was to become independent despite my disability and today due to sport and the support of my family, I very much am an independent individual, she said.Although Deepas Paralympic performance will always be the pinnacle of her sporting career, shes no stranger to winning awards and accolades for her country.In 2012 she was the oldest recipient to be honoured with the Arjuna Award at the age of 42. She also clinched a Para Asian Games medal in 2014 in Incheon.In the run up to the games at Rio, she also won a gold medal in javelin throw at the IPC Oceania Asian Championships in Doha and a silver medal in Shotput at the same event.Andrew Whitworth Youth Jersey .

New York had four turnovers and seven penalties for 56 yards.A 3-yard run by Rashad Jennings and a 20-yard field goal by Josh Brown following an interception by Jonathan Casillas staked New York to its first-quarter lead.Nassib turned over the ball on three consecutive second-quarter possessions to give the Dolphins the lead.Bobby McCains interception led to a 49-yard field goal by Andrew Franks. A fumble and return by Spencer Paysinger set up Damien Williams 5-yard TD run, and an interception by A.J. Hendy led to a 51-yard TD pass from Matt Moore to Matt Hazel.Marshall Koehn added a 28-yard field goal in the third quarter and Zac Dysert capped the scoring with a fourth-down, 16-yard pass to Thomas Duarte, a score that followed a fumble by third-string quarterback Logan Thomas.QB COMPARISONDolphins: Ryan Tannehill finished 2 of 4 for 8 yards. Moore was 10 of 14 for 122 yards and a touchdown. Brandon Doughty, the seventh-round pick from Western Kentucky, finished up and looked good, hitting 7 of 9 for 66 yards.Giants: Nassib finished 7 of 15 for 75 yards with the three turnovers in a performance that will not inspire confidence that he would be able to step in and replace Manning. After holding the ball for more than 18 minutes in the first half, the offense was limited to nine minutes of possession in the second.ROOKIE WATCHDolphins: Dolphins first-round pick LLaremy Tunsil didnt start, but played most of the game at left guard and held his own.dddddddddddd Leonte Carroo, the former Rutgers star who was Miamis third-round pick, had three catches for 18 yards. Sixth-round pick Jakeem Grant had four catches for 68 yards.Giants: First-round pick cornerback Eli Apple played well until straining his lower leg. Second-round pick Sterling Shepard had one diving catch for 24 yards, setting up the Giants touchdown.POSITION BATTLESDolphins: Franks woke up the Dolphins offense with a 49-yard field goal in the second quarter. Koehn showed a good leg on kickoffs.Giants: Big games for the rookies. Apple, Shepard and S Darian Thompson are all going to contribute, along with MLB B.J. Goodson, who had seven tackles, including two for losses.NOT SO STEAMYThe late start and the pre-game rain dropped the temperature to 76 degrees at kickoff. The rain convinced McAdoo to sit Odell Beckham Jr.INJURY UPDATEDolphins: Grant (rib), S Shamiel Gary (neck), DE Chris McClain (elbow) and DE Julius Warmsley (concussion) did not return.Giants: Apple and Shepard were hurt in the first half and did not return. WR Geremy Davis pulled a hamstring in the second half. Veteran Victor Cruz was already out with a groin injury.QUOTABLEDolphins: The defense got their hands on the ball multiple times and turned the game around for us, Tannehill said. The offense, we didnt get much going in the first half, first or second group. But they started getting their hands on the ball and flipping the momentum and really got the game going for us.Giants: Ball security is the No. 1 priority and I didnt do a good job of it, said Nassib, who has thrown 10 NFL regular-season passes in his first three seasons. We have a lot to work on, but the turnovers are unacceptable. You never go into a game expecting to throw interceptions, obviously when you fail its disappointing and frustrating, but we have to bounce back and get back out there.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
