In 2025, Sumit Antil once again underlined his supremacy in para athletics with a historic performance at the World Para Athletics Championships in New Delhi. The reigning Paralympic champion clinched his third consecutive world title in September, producing a gold-medal throw of 71.37m that set a new Championship Record, surpassing his own previous mark. With that triumph, Antil became the most successful Indian athlete in the history of the World Para Athletics Championships, further cementing his legacy.
