Nottwil World Para Athletics Grand: Marking a new milestone for Indian para sports, 35 Indian athletes will make their World Para Athletics Championships debut to be held from September 27 to October 5 here at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.

Mahendra Gurjar, who scripted history by setting a new world record in the men’s F42 javelin category with a throw of 61.17 metres at the Nottwil World Para Athletics Grand Prix in Switzerland, is currently training in Patiala and focused on continuing his great form and making an impact in his debut World Athletics Championships.

"This championship isn’t just about medals—it's about showing the world the spirit and ability of Indian para athletes. I hope our performances encourage more youngsters, especially girls, to chase their sporting dreams," Mahendra, India’s debutant in the Javelin F44, said.
