KIYG 2025: Telangana’s Nishika Aggarwal Breaks Cultural Stereotypes; Bags Four Medals
Khelo India Youth Games: When Nishika Aggarwal of Telangana took to the mats at the Khelo India Youth Games (KIYG) 2025, there was more than just athletic ambition driving her. Coming from a conservative Aggarwal family in Hyderabad, where girls traditionally haven’t pursued competitive sports, Nishika not only chose gymnastics but also excelled at it.
The 17-year-old Khelo India Athlete (KIA) ended her campaign, clinching four medals, including double gold and double bronze in artistic gymnastics from KIYG 2025 at the IG Stadium, New Delhi. She picked gold in the All-Around and Vaulting Table events, respectively, as well as double bronze in the Uneven Bars and Balancing Beam events.
Traditionally rooted in business and academics, Nishika’s arrival in sports defied cultural norms usually associated with the Aggarwal family.
