Danielle Aitchison has won an emphatic gold for New Zealand in the 100m T36 final at the 2025 World Para Athletics Championships.<\/p>\n

Aitchison went one better than last year in Kobe, Japan to claim New Zealand\u2019s third medal in New Delhi.<\/p>\n

\n Her time of 13.43s sees her come within a
\n whisker of her own personal best of 13.41s and within 0.1s of the world record held by China\u2019s Shi Yiting.\n <\/p>\n

Aitchison dominated the event, clearing the field early and powering down the straight for a strong finish. . The remainder of the field had to battle it out for the minor medals, as Aitchison never gave them a look at the top spot.<\/p>\n

Mali Lovell made it an Oceania one-two as she finished in silver for Australia with a 14.56s clocking. Veronica Hipolito of Brazil rounded out the medals in bronze with 14.77s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NZ Herald 30 Sep, 2025 05:38 PMQuick Read Subscribe to listenAccess to Herald Premium articles require a Premium…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":52837,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[45186,836,45185,1975,16671,5759,35934,14045,5904,4241,111,139,69,42299,213,6202,377,80],"class_list":["post-52836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-100m","tag-836","tag-aitchison","tag-at","tag-athletics","tag-championships","tag-danielle","tag-emphatic","tag-final","tag-gold","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-para","tag-sports","tag-wins","tag-world","tag-zealand"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52836","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52836"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52836\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
