Namibia’s Ananias Shikongo Wins Silver in Men’s 100m T11 Final

Namibia’s Ananias Shikongo Wins Silver in Men’s 100m T11 Final. Namibia is celebrating another milestone on the global athletics stage as Ananias Shikongo, guided by Even Tjiuiju, secured silver in the Men’s 100m T11 Final at the Para-Athletics Championships in India. Shikongo crossed the finish line in 11.00 seconds, setting a new benchmark by improving his own African Record for the second consecutive night.

The achievement highlights Shikongo’s consistency and determination, further solidifying his place among the continent’s elite para-athletes. His performance not only earned Namibia a podium finish but also drew attention to the nation’s growing reputation for producing world-class athletes who excel against top international competition.

For Namibia’s sporting community, this medal is more than just recognition on the track—it reflects the potential for sport to elevate the country’s profile and attract greater support for athletes with disabilities. Such success stories can create opportunities for increased sponsorships, partnerships, and investment in sports development, which in turn support both grassroots programmes and elite training structures.

Shikongo’s silver medal also underscores the importance of collaboration between athlete and guide, as the trust and synchronisation with Even Tjiuiju played a vital role in delivering this record-breaking performance. Their result serves as an inspiration across Namibia and Africa, reinforcing the message that with resilience and preparation, African athletes can continue to compete at the highest levels.

As Namibia returns from India with silver and a new continental record, the moment stands as a reminder of how sport continues to bridge ambition, discipline, and national pride on the global stage.
