Gold Rush For India At Special Olympics World Games 2023 In Berlin
India registered their first gold medals at the Special Olympics World Games 2023 as Geetanjali Nagvekar won gold in the 800m Level C, to start, what would be a gold rush, with as many as three more added by the end of the day's action. It all kicked off at the Hanns-Braun-Stadion at Olympiapark early in the morning, Geetanjali running a time of 4:31:40, almost eight seconds ahead of her competitor in second place to put India on the board early. Not long after, India added a silver in the male 800m. A heavy downpour meant action at the athletics track was halted, and the focus shifted to the indoor arenas across Berlin.
