Sumit Antil and Sandip Singh Sargar made it a most memorable evening for India with gold medals in the F64 and F44 Javelin Throw finals respectively in the IndianOil New Delhi 2025 World Para Athletics Championships at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on a balmy 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. It was Sumit Antil’s third World Championships, the most won by an Indian. His earlier victories had come in 2023 Paris where he set a World Record of 70.83m and in 2024 Kobe where he claimed gold with a 69.50m. His determination to make his hat-trick special was on evidence as he locked his focus on his goal.
