I've Worked Hard For This Moment: Praveen Kumar Sets His Eyes On Gold At World Para Athletics C'ships At Home
The Indian Oil New Delhi: A double Paralympic medallist and Asian record holder Praveen Kumar, one of India’s brightest para-athletics stars, is preparing to shine on home soil at the upcoming World Para Athletics Championships, scheduled from September 27 to October 5 here at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, and hopes to add the one gold medal his cabinet is missing.
Praveen, who competes in the T64 high jump category, has built one of the most inspiring careers in Indian para athletics. He announced himself on the international stage with a silver medal at the 2019 Junior World Championships before winning silver again at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
He then clinched gold at the Asian Para Games, followed by bronze at the 2023 World Para Athletics Championships. Most recently, Praveen reached the pinnacle with a stunning gold at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, setting a new Asian record and personal best of 2.08m.
