NEW DELHI – Greg Stewart won Canada’s first gold medal at the 2025 world para athletics championships Friday with a 16.68-metre throw in the men’s F46 shot put.
Stewart won his first world title in the event after claiming gold at the last two Paralympic Games.
The 39-year-old from Victoria, who was born without the lower part of his left arm, had won silver at the last two world championships.
Stewart had to wait a day before competing for gold after several events scheduled for Thursday were delayed by rain.
In women’s competition, Julia Hanes of La Salle, Ont., earned bronze with a throw of 7.51 metres in the F33 shot put final.
Canada won three shot put medals in New Delhi after Katie Pegg of Markham, Ont., won bronze in the women’s F46 event on Thursday.
