Indian Para Powerlifters Secure Gold in Moscow

Yogesh Sharma, Director of Para Athlete Development, spearheaded the recent mission to Russia, framing the trip as a blueprint for future institutional cooperation. During his visit, Sharma met with Russian Paralympic Committee President Pavel Alekseevich Rozhkov to discuss training frameworks and athlete development protocols. These high-level discussions aim to bridge the gap between regional potential and international podium finishes.

This success in Moscow builds directly upon the momentum established at the Asia Oceania Para Powerlifting Championship in Bangkok. By shifting from local training environments to competitive international circuits, Indian para-athletes are rapidly refining their technical performance. The current trajectory suggests that these collaborative initiatives are not merely symbolic, but are actively translating into tangible hardware for the national team.
