Sumit Antil Throws 69.25m As India Dominates Day 2 Of New Delhi 2026 World Para Athletics GP 2026 (Ld)
The highlight of the day came in the Men’s Javelin Throw F43/F44/F64, where Paralympic champion Sumit Antil led an all-Indian podium. Antil clinched gold with a powerful throw of 69.25 metres, while Pushpendra Singh secured silver with 56.91m and Poonam Ram won bronze with 49.48m.
After the victory, Sumit Antil said: “This time we have multiple tournaments lined up. I will try to perform well in the upcoming competitions. It is an off-season loading phase for me. I was not expecting such a throw; I expected around 67–68m, but the throw was good today at 69.25m. So I am happy, and my team is happy as well.”
