Khelo India Para Games: The fourth day of the second edition of the Khelo India Para Games saw Punjab’s powerlifter Jaspreet Kaur and Haryana’s Manish grabbing the headlines. Jaspreet became the first athlete in KIPG 2025 to break a national record here on Sunday. In the 45 kg category, the 31-year-old lifted 101 kg to claim the gold medal at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium complex on Sunday. Manish, too, lifted 166 kg, to set a new national record in the 54 kg category.
At the end of Sunday’s events, 132 gold medals had been decided with Tamil Nadu and Haryana jointly leading the charts with 24 gold medals each. Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh followed with 17 and 16 gold medals, respectively.
Jaspreet broke her national record of 100kg to set a new benchmark at the Khelo India Games 2025. In December 2023, she also won the gold medal in the same event, with the heaviest lift of 85kg. “But I wanted to perform even better this time around. Shattering a national record has also helped me climb up the national rankings,” she was quoted as saying by SAI Media.
