Canada closed the World Para Athletics Championships in New Delhi with three medals. Nate Tucker of Victoria won gold in the men's T38 1500m, clocking a championship-record 3:57.98. Teammate Liam Stanley, also from Victoria, finished ninth in the same race in 4:07.31. Marissa Papaconstantinou of Toronto earned Canada’s first silver in the women’s T64 200m with 27.07. Oakville’s Austin Smeenk added bronze in the men’s T34 800m in 1:40.50.

These results cap Canada’s showing on the final day, giving the nation a three-medal haul as Paralympic hopes and next-season contention build on a strong performance across sprint and middle-distance para events.

Canada earned its first gold of the 2025 world para athletics championships as Greg Stewart threw 16.68m to win the men’s F46 shot put in New Delhi. The Victoria native, born without the lower part of his left arm, claimed his first world title after Olympic and world silver, with rain delays delaying the schedule before he delivered.

Canada also grabbed bronzes: Julia Hanes in F33 with 7.51m and Katie Pegg in F46, part of a three-medal haul in Delhi. The results underscore Canada’s depth in para throwing and reshape expectations for the next world meet from a fantasy perspective.

Canada’s Katie Pegg captured bronze in the women’s F46 shot put at the 2025 world para athletics championships in New Delhi, unleashing a career-best 12.76 metres and earning Canada its first field-event medal in the city. Pegg, who was born without a radial bone in her right forearm, launched five throws past 12 metres, with her final attempt a personal best that capped a breakthrough performance. The meet also featured Amanda Rummery just off the podium in T47 400m and Jesse Zesseu placing sixth in F37 discus, while Uzbekistan’s Karomat Omonova claimed gold at 13.07m and Holly Robinson followed at 12.86m.
