India's Transplant Athletes Aim for Glory at 2025 Games
Imagine people who received new organs competing in sports!
That's what Team India does.
They won lots of medals last time and are now getting ready for the next big games in Germany.
They'll be playing games like running, swimming, and even basketball.
It's not just about winning; it's about showing that life after an organ transplant is full of possibilities.
Many people and groups are helping the team by training them and helping to get ready for the games.
This also helps to encourage people to donate their organs so that more people can have a second chance at life.
Team India won 35 medals at the 2023 World Transplant Games in Perth.
The team is preparing for the 2025 Games in Dresden, Germany, with a larger team of 60 athletes.
Athletes will compete in various sports, including new additions like football and basketball.
ORGAN India and the Parashar Foundation support the team, raising awareness for organ donation.
National training camps and the 5th ROTTO PGIMER Transplant Games prepared athletes for competition.
