WPAC 2025: Brazil Consolidates Place At Top, Debrunner Wins Fourth Gold In New Delhi
Antonia Keyla Da Silva Barros: Brazil’s Antonia Keyla Da Silva Barros broke a long-standing women’s 1500m T20 World Record in winning gold in 4 minutes 19.22 seconds in the 2025 World Para Athletics Championships here on Thursday. Her win tasted sweeter as she beat six-time metric mile World Champion Barbara Bieganowska-Zajac (Poland).
She knew Barbara Bieganowska-Zajac, who set the World Record in 2012 and has won three Paralympic Games gold medals over the distance, has a devastating kick and built a big lead before the final lap. Her brave running helped her complete her transition from being a guide runner for fellow Brazilian Edneusa de Jesus Santos Dorta in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
With Wanna Brito Oliveria also winning the women’s Shot Put F32 gold with a World Record, Brazil’s cup of joy was overflowing as it cemented its place at the top of the medal table with 12 gold, 16 silver, and 7 bronze, leaving China (8-10-9) with a stiff challenge over the next three days.
