Sachin Chamaria wins silver and bronze at Cairo 2026 World Boccia Challenger

Indian para-athlete Sachin Chamaria won a Silver medal in the BC3 Pairs event with partner Sarita Dwivedi and a Bronze in the BC3 Individual event at the Cairo 2026 World Boccia Challenger. The tournament is a key fixture on the official World Boccia ranking circuit. Chamaria is currently ranked World No. 20 in the BC3 category and is a six-time National Boccia Champion.

Cairo holds historical significance for Chamaria: in 2024, he became the first Indian male BC3 player to secure an international Silver medal at a World Boccia Challenger in Cairo. He later won Gold in the BC3 Individual title at the World Boccia Challenger in Bahrain. Chamaria is the first Indian Boccia player to qualify for the World Championships on merit. The 2026 World Boccia Championships will be held in Seoul from August 24 to September 4.

In an exclusive interview with Times Now, Chamaria discussed Boccia's untapped potential in India and the need for institutional and financial support. He noted that several international exposure trips have been self-funded, highlighting challenges athletes face. He also drew a parallel between Boccia and stock trading, both requiring analytical thinking, discipline, and calm under pressure.
