In a remarkable display of skill and determination, India’s Sachin Sarjerao Khilari clinched gold in the men’s shot put F46 category at the World Para Athletics Championship, setting an Asian record in Kobe. Khilari’s impressive throw of 16.30 meters secured not only the top podium spot but also surpassed his own Asian record of 16.21 meters from the previous championship in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
India’s triumph extends beyond Khilari’s feat, as the nation now boasts a record-breaking 11 medals at the championship, five of which are gold. This achievement surpasses India’s previous best tally of 10 medals, attained during the 2023 edition in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With confidence and determination, Khilari expressed his ambition to continue his success, setting his sights on the Paris Olympics after securing his qualification. Meanwhile, head coach Satyanarayan remains optimistic about India’s prospects, aiming for a total of 17 medals by the championship’s end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On May 21, India celebrated further victories as Sumit Antil defended his F64 javelin throw world title, continuing his reign as a global champion. Antil’s remarkable throw of 69.50 meters secured yet another gold medal, adding to his impressive collection that includes titles from the Tokyo Paralympics and previous World Para Athletics Championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
India’s success continued with Thangavelu Mariyappan and Ekta Bhyan claiming gold medals in their respective events, further solidifying India’s position on the world stage. With athletes like Antil leading the charge and inspiring performances across various disciplines, India’s presence at the World Para Athletics Championship shines brightly as a testament to perseverance, talent, and excellence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
