India ended its Special Olympics World Games 2023 campaign by winning 202 medals (76 gold, 75 silver and 51 bronze), with the last of the medals coming from the athletics track.
Indian athletes notched six medals from the track events (2 gold, 3 silver and 1 bronze).
Saket Kundu, who had earlier grabbed a silver medal in the mini javelin Level B, also won a bronze in the Level B 400m, a rare double act in the track and field.
Aanchal Goyal (400m, Level B Female) and Ravimathi Arumugam (400m, Level C Female) blew away the competition to clinch gold.
The 16th Special Olympics World Games, the world’s largest inclusive sports event, took place in Berlin, Germany, from 17th June to 25th June 2023.
For the first time, Germany had been chosen as the host country for the Special Olympics World Games.
