Parul Chaudhary (born 15 April 1995) is an Indian track athlete who specializes in 3000 m steeplechase and 5000 m.[1][2] She has represented India in both the events at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Early and personal life

[edit]

Chaudhary hails from Iklauta village, near Meerut.[3] She is one of four children of Krishanpal Chaudhary and Rajesh Devi. Parul ran barefoot as a teenager and competed in 800 m in her school starting 2011.

She switched to 1500 m and 3000 m, before taking to 5000 m and competed professionally in the latter event along with 3000 m steeplechase. It helped her land her previous job with the Western Railway in 2015 when she moved to Mumbai.[4]

She was appointed as Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) with the Uttar Pradesh Police on 27 January 2024 and began her duties in Moradabad district.[5]

Career

[edit]

In July 2023, Chaudhary won a gold in women's 3000 m steeplechase in the Asian Athletics Championships held at Bangkok.[6] In August, at the World Athletics Championships held in Budapest, she registered personal best time and national record in 3000 m steeplechase with a time of 9:15.31, in the process, qualifying for the 2024 Paris Olympics.[7] At the Hangzhou Asian Games in October 2023, she claimed gold in the 5000 m event and silver in 3000 m steeplechase.[8]
