WUG 2025: Ankita gets silver in women's 3000m steeplechase
The Daily Guardian
|July 28, 2025
Steeplechaser Ankita Dhyani came up with a blistering run to clinch silver in the grueling 3000m event with a personal-best time of 9:31.99 seconds, while the men's 4x100m relay quartet bagged a bronze as Indian athletes ended their campaign in the World University Games here on Sunday.
The trio of Munita Prajapati, Mansi Negi, and Sejal Singh finished third to take the bronze in women's 20km team racewalk on the concluding day.
India ended their campaign with two gold, five silver and five bronze in the showpiece event.
On a day when several Indian athletes were in contention in track events, but could bag only two medals, 23-year-old Ankita, a second-year social sciences student, shaved nearly seven seconds from her personal best time of 9:39.00 seconds to finish a few milliseconds behind Finland's Ilona Maaria Mononen, who timed 9:31.86.
Adia Budde of Germany took the bronze, clocking 9:33.34 seconds.
