Doha world championships

World Para Athletics Championships: India’s Paralympic movement has made rapid, huge strides in recent years. The nation is currently hosting the New Delhi 2025 World Para Athletics Championships at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, and that’s a real manifestation of India’s growth and aspirations.

On Wednesday at the iconic venue, two very important people in the para-athletic organisational world – Paul Fitzgerald, head of World Para Athletics, and Andrew Parsons, president of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), addressed the media. They couldn’t help but express their admiration for the growth that India has shown in recent years in sports, including para sports.

Fitzgerald believes the ongoing event is a great opportunity on so many fronts. “Every world championship that we have is an opportunity to show the entire world what’s possible for 1.2 billion people around the world with disability and not just show that but also show excellence, high performance, as well as connect with each other as a community,” he said.
