[ad_1] Yogesh Kathuniya with his Paris Paralympics 2024 Silver medal (PC: Rohan Chowdhury) The Delhi High Court has directed the selection committee for the prestigious Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award to reassess the nomination of Paralympian Yogesh Kathuniya. This decision comes after concerns were raised regarding his exclusion from the final list of awardees despite his remarkable achievements in para-athletics. Yogesh Kathuniya, a Paralympic discus thrower, has represented India on the international stage and brought glory to the nation with his stellar performances. Notably, he clinched a silver medal at the Tokyo Paralympics 2020 and has consistently been a top contender in his sport. The court emphasised the importance of fairness and inclusivity in recognising athletes who have displayed exceptional dedication and skill. It noted that the process for selecting awardees must be transparent and account for all eligible candidates’ contributions. This directive follows a petition filed on behalf of Kathuniya, which argued that his accomplishments deserved recognition at the highest level. The plea pointed out that overlooking such an athlete would send the wrong message about inclusivity and support for para-athletes in the country. The Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna is India’s highest sporting honor, awarded annually to athletes who have demonstrated extraordinary performances at the international level. The High Court’s intervention underlines the growing acknowledgment of the need to honour para-athletes on par with their able-bodied counterparts. The court has asked the selection committee to reconsider Kathuniya’s case and provide a detailed justification for their final decision. This move has sparked discussions within the sports community about the need for more equitable recognition of all athletes, regardless of physical challenges. The outcome of this reassessment will be closely monitored by sports enthusiasts and advocates for para-sports across the country.

This remarkable performance exceeded their pre-set target of 25 medals and showcased India’s growing prowess across various sports such as athletics, badminton, shooting, archery, and judo. Indian athletes secured medals every day from Day 2 to Day 10, underscoring the country’s commitment to excellence.

From just 12 medals in the first 11 editions of the Paralympics to an impressive 48 medals in the last two, India’s para-athletes have come a long way. At the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, India sent a record 54 athletes and returned with 19 medals, including five golds, eight silvers, and six bronzes, setting high expectations for the Paris Games. In Paris, the Indian contingent expanded to 84 athletes, setting an ambitious target of 25 medals.

Highlights of India’s Medal-Winning Journey

India’s first medal came from Avani Lekhara, who successfully defended her title in women’s 10m air rifle standing SH1, winning gold. Lekhara’s win marked the first time an Indian woman athlete won multiple medals at the Paralympics. On the same day, Mona Agarwal secured a bronze in the same event, while Manish Narwal earned a silver in men’s 10m air pistol SH1, and sprinter Preethi Pal won a bronze in women’s 100m – T35.

Day 5 to Day 7 of the competition was a golden period for India, with 17 medals won in just three days. The surge began with a silver in men’s discus throw – F56 by Yogesh Kathuniya, followed by gold for Nitesh Kumar in men’s singles SL3 badminton. Badminton continued to bring success with four additional medals, including silvers for Thulasimathi Murugesan and Suhas LY and bronzes for Manisha Ramadass and Nithya Sre Sumathy Sivam.

The athletics events continued to deliver medals, with Sumit Antil winning gold in the men’s javelin throw – F64 and the archers securing a bronze in the mixed team compound open event. On Day 6, India experienced another surge in medals with five podium finishes in athletics, including a gold-silver finish for Dharambir and Pranav Soorma in the men’s club throw – F51. Archer Harvinder Singh also made history by winning India’s first archery gold at the Paralympics.

India’s Historic Medal Haul

India set a new record by winning its 25th medal with a bronze in men’s -60kg J1 judo by Kapil Parmar. High jumper Praveen Kumar won India’s sixth gold in the men’s T64 final, and Hokato Hotozhe Sema earned a bronze in men’s shot put – F57. Navdeep Singh added a seventh gold with his victory in the men’s javelin throw – F41, and Simran earned bronze in the women’s 200m – T12.

[ad_1] Yogesh Kathuniya in Hangzhou (Image: Rohan Chowdhury) The world’s largest single Para sport event is set to take place in India for the first time, as New Delhi hosts the 2025 Para Athletics World Championships. Scheduled from 26 September to 5 October 2025 at the iconic Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, this landmark event marks a significant milestone in the growth of Para sports in the country. The announcement was made by World Para Athletics (WPA) on 19 December 2024. The 2025 edition will be the 12th Para Athletics World Championships and the fourth time the event is being held in Asia, following successful editions in Doha (2015), Dubai (2019), and Kobe (2024). The event is expected to attract over 1,000 athletes from more than 100 nations, making it the largest international Para sport event ever hosted in India.

It will influence many young Para athletes to take up the sport more seriously as well,” he remarked. Paul Fitzgerald, Head of World Para Athletics, emphasised the significance of hosting the championships in India. “We are delighted to announce that the first major championships of the new Paralympic cycle towards Los Angeles 2028 will be hosted in New Delhi.
