At the Asian U23 Athletics Championships in Ordos, India stormed the podium with 11 medals, led by Shivaji Parashuram’s double silver streak and bronze finishes by Priya (discus) and Shravani Sangle (400m hurdles). What’s striking? Many of these athletes narrowly missed more podium spots; hinting at even greater potential just around the corner. For a nation increasingly focused on sport, this isn’t just about medals; it’s about momentum. These are the athletes who’ll carry India’s flag at bigger global stages. And they’re just getting started.
