Krishna Jayasankar becomes the First Indian Woman to cross the 16m Mark in Indoor shot put

Krishna Jayasankar made history at the 2025 Mountain West Indoor Championships by becoming the first Indian woman to cross 16 metres in indoor shotput, recording 16.03m. The Chennai-born 22-year-old shattered the previous national indoor record of 15.54m and secured a bronze medal in a high-profile field.
