WPAC 2025: Heartbreak For India Debutant Haney In Men’s Discus Throw F37; Two More World Records Set In New Delhi
World Para Athletics Championships: India’s 19-year-old Haney suffered a heartbreak on his World Championships debut in the men’s Discus Throw F37 final as he was in medal contention from his opening throw onwards until Japan’s Yamato Shimbo vaulted from fourth place to silver in the final round and edged the Rohtak lad from the podium on Thursday.
Haney was in the lead after the first round with a throw of 51.22m but was unable to improve on that in his subsequent visits to the throwing circle. Mexico’s Luis Carlos Lopez found a winning throw of 56.59m, a new Championships Record, on his second try, Mykola Zhabnyak (Ukraine) went ahead in the fourth round with 52.70.
Yamato Shimbo uncorked a personal best of 54.50 on his last try to leave the home athlete in fourth place. Haney had a chance of returning to a medal position by producing his best throw of the morning, but it appeared as if the pressure got to the youngest competitor in the field and he managed 46.34m, the shortest of his four valid throws.
