The Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) has stressed the critical role of the 'Mondo' track in preparing athletes for the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympics. This state-of-the-art synthetic track, now installed at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi, is a boon for athletes, minimizing injury risks while enhancing performance.
PCI President Devendra Jhajharia expressed that such facilities were once a dream due to financial constraints. However, with India now being the world's fourth-largest economy, the country has the means to provide top-tier arrangements for global competitions. This track is essential for athletes as they prepare for the Summer Games in Los Angeles.
In a related development, PCI unveiled Team India's official jersey for the upcoming World Para Athletics Championships at a ceremony in the national capital. With new facilities and a dedicated sports administration, athletes like Dharambir and Preeti Pal are looking to make their mark, motivated by both the jersey launch and the promise of advanced training tracks.
