After a rain-affected Thursday at the 2025 World Para Athletics Championships in New Delhi, Friday will see Indians in action across a number of medal events, including the ones rescheduled from yesterday to the rain.
Simran Sharma will be back on the track, competing in the Women's 100m T12 semifinal after a good run in the heats. Sachin Khilari, Mohd. Yasser and Solairaj Dharamraj will hope to take the field after their events got cancelled.
India won two medals on Thursday; Paralympic champion Dharambir Nain winning silver in men's club throw F51 and Atul Kaushik getting bronze in men's discus throw F57.
With no gold medals won, India dropped to seventh spot from fourth in the medal table with 4 gold, 5 silver and 2 bronze (total of 11). Brazil continues to lead the medal tally with 12 gold, 17 silver and 7 bronze, followed by China (8-10-9) and Poland (7-2-5).
