World Athletics U20 Championships 2024: Full list of Indians in action ft. Bapi Hansda & Dipanshu Sharma
India's anticipation is high as a 43-member contingent gears up for the World Athletics U20 Championships 2024 in Lima, Peru, scheduled from August 28 to 31. 23 athletes are competing in men’s events, while there are 20articipants among women’s.
Among the standout athletes in the World Athletics U20 Championships 2024 is Dipanshu Sharma, the reigning Asian U20 javelin throw champion, who will likely lead India's charge. He headlines a squad that clinched seven gold medals at the Asian U20 Athletics Championships in Dubai earlier this year. Noteworthy among these winners are Anurag Singh Kaler (shot put), Ranvir Singh (3000m steeplechase), and Pavana Nagaraj (long jump) - all poised to make their mark in Lima.
Bapi Hansda, overcoming a bout of dengue, will feature prominently in the 400m and 4x400m relay events in the World Athletics U20 Championships 2024. His recovery adds depth to the team, bolstering India's medal hopes in these fiercely contested events. Also making headlines is Murad Kalubhai Sirman, a promising 400m hurdler, aiming to shine on the international stage with his impressive season best of 50.60s.
India's recent track record at the World Athletics U20 Championships 2024 includes two silver medals at Cali 2022, courtesy of Selva Thirumaran (triple jump) and the mixed 4x400m relay team, along with a bronze by Rupal Chaudhary (400m). Rupal made history as the first Indian to claim dual medals in the same edition of the championships.
