It was the second day since the start of the World Para Athletics Championships [WPAC] here at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium that India failed to add any medal to its tally, but the stories of triumphs and trials of para-athletes never fell behind. One such champion is Switzerland’s Elena Kratter — an orthopedic technician who switched from alpine skiing to para-athletics.

Elena won her second consecutive WPAC silver medal in women’s long-jump T63 and finished fourth in 100m T63 sprint.
