Soman Rana is an Indian Army Para Athlete born on 16 January 1983. He hails from Gaya, Meghalaya and comes from a humble family background.
Rana belongs to a family of farmers living in Bihar. His father, Bahadur Rana, is a farmer and mother, Maya Devi Rana, is a housewife.
In the year 2001, he joined the army in Gorkha Rifles as a sepoy. As he was a keen sportsman, very soon, he became a part of the unit boxing team. In December 2006, while he was posted in 2
8 Gorkha Rifles, serving in the Line of Control in J&K, Rana was injured in a mine blast injury, resulting in a below-knee amputation.
He was later transferred to the Artificial Limb Centre, Pune, where he began his rehabilitation. Losing a leg would end the sports career for most, but Soman kept himself motivated.
He was drawn towards para sports during his rehabilitation and he joined the Army Paralympic Node in 2017.
Soman Rana has shown tremendous improvement since the time he joined the node. He has a very calm personality and is friendly in nature. Rana has also represented India at the Tokyo Paralympics 2020 and Paralympics 2024.
Shubham Juyal grew up in Roorkee with an inherited sense of duty - his father served in the army and retired as a Naib Subedar. Shubham grew up wanting to carry that legacy forward, aiming for a commissioned officer’s role.
In 2022, at age 26, he cleared the written exam for the Army Cadet College entry scheme and was on his way to his SSB interview when a serious motorcycle accident changed the course of his life. He lost a leg in the accident, and with it, his path to becoming an officer as he’d envisioned it.
Recovering at the Artificial Limb Centre in Pune, he was presented with two broad paths forward: a vocational diploma route, or para-sports. He chose the harder road - sport - pointing to a mindset shift from deferring plans to acting in the present.
He subsequently joined the army’s paralympic sports node, where training alongside established medalists. His account cites decorated para-athletes within the army’s ranks gave him belief that international medals were achievable for him too.
Backed by the army’s institutional support (funded coaching, sports grants, conditioning programs), he committed to shot put F57, a discipline requiring seated, strapped-in athletes to generate power entirely through the upper body and torso.
Para athletics: Soman Rana wins gold medal, Shubham Juyal takes silver in F57 shot put
Soman Rana clinched the men’s F57 shot put gold medal with a season-best throw of 13.40m, while compatriot Shubham Juyal claimed silver - also a season-best - with a 13.28m effort to complete an Indian one-two finish.

He later won the 2026 NCAA Division I Outdoor Championships title in Eugene, Oregon, becoming one of the few Indian triple jumpers to surpass the 17m mark.
His performances at the junior and collegiate levels have marked him as a strong prospect for India’s future success in the triple jump.
