Ashish Yadav wins silver in the men’s javelin throw at the World Athletics U20 Championships, adding to India’s medals on the tournament’s third day. He records a best throw of 74.09m, which comes in his third-round effort. The Hindu and Free Press Journal report that the result gives him India’s second such javelin silver, after Neeraj Chopra.
The Free Press Journal details that South Africa’s Jan-Hendrik Heymans takes gold with 80.50m, while T Dharanidharan finishes sixth with 72.35m. Times of India also lists additional India performances at the same championships: Mohommed Ashfaq sets a men’s 400m national record, Amanat Kamboj places sixth in the women’s discus throw final, and Basant advances to the men’s high jump final after clearing 2.14m. Across outlets, the main focus remains on Yadav’s silver, with other results presented as part of India’s broader medal-building day rather than a separate story line.
