Rising From Paris Defeat, Denis Gnezdilov Rules The Para Athletics Worlds With Record-breaking Throw
World Para Athletics Championships: When Denis Gnezdilov stepped into the shotput circle at the World Para Athletics Championships, he carried with him more than just the weight of a metal sphere. He carried the sting of Paris Paralympics, the frustration of missed chances, and the determination to prove that failure could be the start of something greater.
Just a year ago, in the Paris Paralympics, the Rustavi-born thrower had endured one of the lowest points of his career when he missed the podium. For a Paralympic gold medallist from Tokyo 2020, the disappointment cut deep. But Gnezdilov is not the kind of athlete who lets setbacks define him. Instead, he treated Paris as a classroom.
“I feel free. In Paris, I made mistakes. I learned from them, corrected them, and now we move forward. The results will keep growing, because after Paris, I changed all the equipment and everything else,” he said, moments after claiming gold in New Delhi.
