WPAC 2025: Relentless Sumit Chases Down History, India Rises To Fourth Spot On Medals Table
World Para Athletics Championships: Paralympian Sumit Antil and Sandip Singh Sargar made it a most memorable evening for India with gold medals in the F64 and F44 sections of javelin throw competitions, respectively, in the 2025 World Para Athletics Championships on a balmy Tuesday evening at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here.
Brazil, which won one more gold on Tuesday, consolidated its position at the top of the medals table with 7 gold, 14 silver, and 6 bronze ahead of Poland (6-1-5) and China (5-7-4). With 4 gold, 4 silver, and a bronze, India is in fourth position, thanks to the two gold medals won in the Javelin Throw competitions on Tuesday evening.
With 2020 Olympic and 2023 World Champion Neeraj Chopra in the house, Sumit Antil buckled down to the task of chasing the Championship record despite being in a league of his own. He had three throws beyond the 65m in his first four attempts and did not relent, though the gold was assured. He nailed a new meet mark of 71.37m with his fifth try.
