Hosts won a record 22 medals at the World Para Athletics Championships that ended in the Capital
The 12th edition of the World Para Athletics Championships ended here on Sunday with India recording their best-ever haul of 22 medals.
The event, hosted by India for the first time, was a rousing endorsement of the country's rising graph in para sports. Indian athletes set three Championship records and seven Asian marks.
With six gold, nine silver and seven bronze medals, India comfortably bettered their previous best tally of 17 medals, achieved in the last edition in Kobe, Japan. India's performance drew lavish praise from prime minister Narendra Modi, who took to X to express his thoughts.
"A historic performance by our para-athletes! This year's World Para-Athletics have been very special. The Indian contingent had its best-ever performance, winning 22 medals, including 6 Gold. Congrats to our athletes. Their success will inspire several people. I am proud of each and every member of our contingent and wish them the very best for their future endeavours. Hosting the tournament in Delhi has also been an honour for India. Gratitude to athletes and support staff from almost 100 nations who were a part of the tournament," Modi wrote.
