Bhairabi Roy’s Golden Leap at the National Open Athletics Championships
On September 27, 2025, Bhairabi Roy made history in the Indian athletics in the Birsa Munda Stadium in Ranchi. Roy, who represented the Railway Sports Control Board (RSCB), was the winner of the gold medal in the women’s triple jump and this was achieved after she leaped 13.10 meters. This was her first gold in this event at the National Open Athletics Championships and a remarkable comeback after a two-year gap in crossing the 13-meter mark.
Bhairabi Roy’s performance during the competition was steady and focused. She started with a jump of 12.80 meters, followed by a foul on her second attempt. It took her a short time to re-focus as she made a 12.90 meter jump in the third attempt.
She failed to grab the gold until the fifth round when she achieved her best jump of 13.10 meters, after 12.82 meters on her fourth attempt.

The next good jump of 12.82 meters concluded her series of very good results in the face of pressure. Maharashtra’s Poorva Sawant won second place with 13.05 meters, with Nimisha Dayma of Madhya Pradesh at third with 12.96 meters.
This is an important win in the National Open Athletics Championships, as this was the first time Bhairabi Roy has won an athletics competition in four years after failing to reach the 13-meter mark.
It showed not only her talent, but her strength of will and mind. When playing at this scale in a national event, it takes concentration, discipline, and stamina, which Bhairabi Roy exhibited in the most ideal way possible.

Bigyan Samele’s Take
The final jump that Bhairabi Roy did was indeed inspirational. It reminded me that sports are not medals but endurance, concentration, and overcoming failure. Bhairabi Roy demonstrated both mental and physical strength by remaining calm after a foul in the early stages of the competition and performing her winning jump of 13.10 meters.
Her result at the National Open Athletics Championships is not just a figure. It is a testament to hard work, determination, and persistence. With her now looking forward to taking part in the women’s long jump, the story of Bhairabi Roy is a good example that life is not to be feared but rather to be pursued with determination, faith, and concentration.
