WPAC 2025: Yogesh Kathuniya Stresses The Importance Of Action, Not Words, After Yet Another Silver
World Para Athletics Championships: Yogesh Kathuniya has changed his life philosophy, and he believes it is slowly going to change his fortunes. The F56 discus thrower won the sixth medal for India at the ongoing 2025 World Para Athletics Championships at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi when he threw the iron disc a distance of 42.49 for silver in his second attempt.
In the past, Yogesh has been known to be over-optimistic. In the lead-up to an important event, whenever you asked him what his prospects were. Invariably, he would speak of gold, nothing less. But the gold never came. In the last two Paralympics, in Paris and Tokyo, as well as the world championships, he had to settle for silver, which wasn’t in line with his words in the lead-up, if truth be told.
On Tuesday, he won another silver, but this time, he had not promised anything. “I have stopped saying I am going to win gold. Paris was a big disappointment. And I believe this change in approach is going to stand me in good stead eventually,” Yogesh, proudly draped in the tricolour, said after his silver.
