World Para Athletics Grand Prix: The world of para-athletics turned its spotlight on India on Tuesday as the much-anticipated World Para Athletics Grand Prix 2025 commenced at the iconic Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi. The grand opening ceremony saw an enthusiastic crowd, including top dignitaries, athletes, and spectators from around the world. The event, which is open to all, has drawn 280 athletes from 20 countries, competing across 98 events over the next three days.

Among the participants, 195 male and 85 female athletes have arrived with high aspirations, making this edition one of the most eagerly awaited competitions in the global para-athletics circuit.

The Grand Prix also witnessed the absence of several Indian and international para-athletes who had initially confirmed their participation but later withdrew for various reasons. As a result, some events saw minimal participation, with certain disciplines featuring just a single competitor.
