I Aim To Strike Gold And Bring Greater Glory To India, Says Para-athlete Preeti Pal

World Para Athletics Championships: India’s acclaimed para-athlete, Preeti Pal, a double bronze medallist at the 2024 Paris Paralympics, has been officially named the flag bearer for India's contingent at the upcoming prestigious New Delhi 2025 World Para Athletics Championships. Her remarkable journey from overcoming cerebral palsy to becoming one of the country’s brightest stars in para-athletics serves as a shining example of determination and excellence.

Born with cerebral palsy, Preeti has overcome all obstacles with her unwavering spirit and determination. With personal bests of 14.21 seconds in the 100m and 30.01 seconds in the 200m T35 sprint categories, she achieved two landmark bronze medals in Paris, putting India firmly on the global para-sports map.

From a child battling cerebral palsy to a Paralympic medallist, Preeti's journey is one of determination and perseverance. After struggling with limited treatment options in her hometown, she relocated to Delhi to train with expert coaches. The support of the Sports Authority of India (SAI) and the Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS), which offered her financial assistance, advanced training facilities, physiotherapy, and sports equipment, has been instrumental in her development.
