Jaideep Singh Deswal (born 30 December 1989) is an Indian athletics competitor, representing India at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London, United Kingdom, in the discus throw event under F42 classification.[2][3] He underwent training at Cardiff Metropolitan University, Wales, for the Games.[4] He is supported by GoSports Foundation through the Para champions programme.
Jaideep was 4 months old when he was given wrong vaccination for his fever by the doctor resulting in loss of strength in his left leg. Retaining a keen interest in the sport from an early age, Jaideep started practising and competing in the discus throw in 2007 upon suggestions from his friends. His father, recently retired from Rajasthan police and his family, living in a small village on the outskirts of Rohtak, was not familiar with sports before. However, egged on by his uncle, Jaideep used to be a regular trainer in the fields of his native village.
