Khelo India Youth Games: Telangana’s Nishika Aggrawal continued her stunning form at the Khelo India Youth Games (KIYG) defending her gold in the women’s artistic gymnastics all-around event at the Indira Gandhi Stadium, New Delhi on Tuesday.

This was the third time the 17-year-old Khelo India athlete (KIA) took part at the Games, having competed before in Tamil Nadu and Haryana. “I have got a lot of confidence playing KIYG over the years. This time, I was confident to give my best and I am happy to have used a lot of focus and concentration. This all resulted well for me,” Nishika told SAI Media after the final.

Nishika, who made it to the senior India team last year, beat fellow KIAs Anoushka Patil and Sara Rawool of Maharashtra, who won the silver and bronze, respectively.
