Indian Team Matches Best U20 World Championship Medal Haul with Three Podium Finishes

With Basant Kumar's silver in high jump, Shahnavaz Khan's bronze in long jump, and Ashish Yadav's silver in the javelin throw, India has secured three medals at the World Under‑20 Championships. This tally mirrors the three‑medal performance achieved at the 2021 edition and positions the country within striking distance of setting a new record for most medals ever won at a single U20 tournament.

The remaining day of competition offers Indian athletes a chance to add to the count, while the women's 4 × 400 metre relay team has already qualified for the final after posting a 3:39.53 performance in the heats, trailing only the United States and Australia.
