Tanya Chaudhary won the gold medal in the women’s hammer throw with a best throw of 61.09m at the Indian Open Throws in Patiala.
In January 2026, Tanya won gold in the women’s hammer throw at the All India Inter-University Athletics Championships, registering a personal best of 65.60m.
The throw was better than the current Indian national record (65.25m by Sarita Singh), making it the longest distance ever achieved by an Indian woman in competition conditions.
However, the performance will not be officially recognised, as the All India Inter-University Championships are not World Athletics–certified.
