Praveen Kumar captured bronze in the men's high jump T64 at the 2025 World Para Athletics Championships on Saturday at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. Uzbekistan's Temurbek Giyazov claimed gold with a personal best of 2.03 meters, and Great Britain's Jonathan Broom-Edwards earned silver at 2.00 meters. Kumar reached the podium through a countback decision but attributed his third-place finish to a hip injury that limited his performance.
Ekta Bhyan won silver in the women's club throw F51 with a season-best mark of 19.80 meters. Ukraine's Zoia Ovsii dominated the competition with a winning throw of 24.03 meters. Bhyan expressed satisfaction with her result despite falling short of her previous Asian Games standard of above 21 meters.
Soman Rana secured silver in the men's shot put F57 after officials accepted a protest against a competitor's mark. His season-best throw measured 14.69 meters, and the medal helped India surpass its previous best total of 17 medals from the Kobe championships. The nation needed one more gold to match its record of six from that competition.
Simran advanced to the 200-meter T12 semifinals after winning her heat with guide Umar Saifi in 25.03 seconds. The athlete previously won gold in the 100-meter event. Her coach, Gajendra Singh, said the team remains focused on the next race rather than celebrating earlier success.
