World Para Athletics Grand Prix: "I see opportunity." That was how Paul Fitzgerald, head of World Para Athletics, chose to frame the atmosphere at the ongoing World Para Athletics Grand Prix, highlighting the immense potential he believes India has to shape the future of para sport.
Speaking to IANS at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Fitzgerald emphasised that the investment being made in infrastructure and competitions in India is not only about present success but also about building the next generation of athletes.
“Beautiful Mondo track, the facilities are incredible, they're accessible, and this type of investment is not just about the now, it's about the future as well.
