Bonn (Germany): Indian Para-athletes like javelin thrower Sumit Antil, Devendra Jhajharia, Mariyappan Thangavelu, Yogesh Kathunia, and Nishad Kumar will get a chance to test themselves ahead of the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games when the French capital hosts the 2023 World Para Athletics Championships from July 1-17, 2023.

This will be the first time that Paris will host the para-athletics world championships and will be a precursor to the Paralympics to be held a year later.

The announcement of Paris as host city of the 11th edition of the biennial para-athletics event was made on Thursday by World Para Athletics, the French Handisport Federation (FFH), the NPC France, the City of Paris, the Ministry of Sport of France, the Ministry in charge of disabled people.

The World Para Athletics Championships is set to be the biggest para-sport event to take place in the French capital before the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.

The competition will be held at the Charlety Stadium which is a familiar venue to many of the world’s best Para athletes as it has hosted the World Para-Athletics Grand Prix since 2017.

“It is not common that the host city of the Paralympics also hosts such a major World Championships one year before the Games. I hope everyone is excited with the news as we are. The best athletes in the world will be inspiring and exciting Paris in a great World Championships in 2023 and will return in 2024 for the Paralympic Games,” said IPC President Andrew Parsons. who joined the announcement in a virtual press conference.

Paris 2023 will be the third edition of the World Championships to be held in France following Lille/Villeneuve d’Ascq 2002 and Lyon 2013.

The last edition of the World Championships took place in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates in 2019 with more than 1,300 athletes from 92 nations. India finished 24th in that edition with nine medals — two gold, two silver, and five bronze — with Sumit Antil in Men’s Javelin Throw F64 and Sandeep Choudhary in Men’s Javelin Throw F44 setting new world records.

The 10th edition of the biennial event, which was scheduled to be held in September 2021, was shifted to July-August 2022 because the 2020 Paralympics were postponed by a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Gaikwad special takes CSK to 178/7 Ahmedabad: Opener Ruturaj Gaikwad was all class in his 92 off 50 balls as Chennai Super Kings posted a challenging 178 for seven against defending champions Gujarat Titans in the IPL opener here Friday. Gaikwad regaled the near capacity crowd here with with his sublime strokeplay. It was a display of effortless hitting from Gaikwad, who relied on his lofted drives over extra cover and crisp pull shots to collect as many as nine sixes. Apart from Gaikwad, the only other batter who put the Titans under pressure was Moeen Ali who came up with a 17-ball 23. Ali's flat six off Mohammad Shami on a free-hit ball was the highlight of his cameo. Gaikwad pulled IPL debutant Joshua Little on his very first ball to set the tone of his innings. That over went for 15 runs and with Shami conceding 17 runs in the following over, CSK got the momentum they were looking for. Titans' trump card Rashid Khan was introduced in the powerplay and as he often does, he got the wicket that his team was looking for by getting the dangerous looking Ali caught behind. Rashid's second over saw him getting rid of England Test captain Ben Stokes, who too was caught by wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha, leaving CSK at 70 for three. However, the fall of wickets did not make Gaikwad change his game as he kept getting the boundaries. He welcomed Alzarri Joseph into the attack by smashing him for three sixes in the eighth over. Titans did well to stem the flow of runs in the middle overs and got the wicket of Ambati Rayudu. Shivam Dube struggled to find the big hits and that put pressure on Gaikwad who was caught in the deep in the 17th over and missed out on a deserving hundred. Skipper M S Dhoni came out to bat at number eight but still managed to make an impact as he pulled Little for a six before flicking him for a four in the final over, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Kane Williamson injured his knee while fielding at the boundary and limped off the field. The last five overs yielded 45 runs for CSK. PTI IPL, CSK, GT, Ruturaj Gaikwad
