World Para Athletics Championships: At the age of sixteen, most teenagers are worried about going to school, pursuing hobbies, or weaving dreams about their future. But for Colombia’s Angie Nicoll Mejía Morales, the future arrived early—under the dazzling lights of the New Delhi 2025 World Para Athletics Championships at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Tuesday.
Angie clocked 12.34 seconds in the women’s T38 100m event, setting a new Championship Record and winning the gold medal. It was her first-ever World Championship race, yet it seemed as if Angie was made for this very stage. Just minutes after her remarkable victory, she stood before the cameras —astonished, elated, and almost speechless.
She said, “Honestly, my mind is still blank. I still can’t believe it. I never expected this because athletics was never something I wanted to do. But today my body just responded on its own, and I’m very, very happy.”
