World Para Athletics Championships New: The striking medals to be awarded to winners of the historic World Para Athletics Championships, the grandest para-sport gathering ever hosted in India, which will be held in New Delhi from September 27 to October 5, were unveiled by the Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) here on Thursday.

This milestone event, the first mega event of this kind to be hosted by India, will see over 2,200 para-athletes and support staff from 104 countries converging to compete across 186 medal events.

The unveiled medals radiate the essence of para-sport, Indian heritage, and sporting excellence. The front side of the medal features intricate motifs inspired by traditional Indian art, centering on the championship’s name and para-athletics icons: a wheelchair racer, a discus thrower, and the lotus—India’s national flower. The other side highlights inclusivity, with Braille above the “New Delhi 2025” inscription, a lotus-inspired pattern, and bold modern geometric details. Completed with an eye-catching blue ribbon, each medal radiates culture, accessibility, and athletic achievement.
