WAPC 2025: Sabrina Fortune’s World Record Shares Spotlight With Rinku Hooda's Gold
World Para Athletics Championships: Great Britain’s Sabrina Fortune annexed her fourth women’s shot put F20 gold medal with a world record in the 2025 World Para Athletics Championships at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Monday, even as India's Rinku Hooda claimed a memorable men’s javelin throw F46 gold for India, beating the past three champions.
There were five other championship records rewritten on Monday evening, none more popular than the one set by Rinku Hooda, who hurled the spear to a distance of 66.37m in winning the high-voltage men’s javelin throw F46 final from his more experienced teammate Sundar Singh Gurjar. For the home crowd, it would have been more memorable had Ajeet Singh completed a medal sweep.
It was a riveting contest that saw two Indians duelling for the top spot – and the championship record. Rinku Hooda threw the gauntlet down, opening with 63.81m for a new mark, but Sundar Singh Gurjar sent the spear soaring over 64.11m on the third try to claim the record. However, a pumped-up Rinku Hooda regained it with his fifth attempt to seal the win.
