    World Para Athletics Championships: Luka Ekler gave herself an early birthday present by winning the gold medal with a world record in the women’s long jump T38 in the 2025 World Para Athletics Championships at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi on a humid Wednesday. The Hungarian, who will celebrate her 27th birthday later this month, leapt 5.91m.

    Jaydin Blackwell (USA, men’s 400m T38) and Oleksandr Yarovyi (Neutral Para Athlete, men’s Shot Put F20) were the other athletes who raised the number of world records set in five days of competition in New Delhi 2025 to 18.

    Ekler, a two-time Paralympic Games long jump champion who had pegged the world record at 5.82m three years ago in Paris and the Championships mark of 5.31m in Doha in 2019, was up against Angie Nicoll Mejia Morales and Karen Tatiana Palomque Moreno, who had scored a 1-2 for Colombia in the 100m on Monday. But she lost no time in establishing her superiority.
