Assam’s medal momentum continues at the Khelo India Youth Games 2025 with Spriha Hrishi Kashyap and Bhabana Boro securing a bronze medal in the Rhythmic Yogasana pair event. The female duo’s achievement further diversifies the state’s medal collection, which now spans six different sporting disciplines.
For 12-year-old Spriha Hrishi Kashyap from Morigaon, this bronze medal adds to an already impressive international record. Earlier this year, she represented India at the prestigious 2nd Asian Yogasana Sports Championship held at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi (April 25-27, 2025), where she secured two gold medals – one in the Backbending Individual Event and another as part of the winning team in the Traditional Group Event. Her performance at that championship was particularly noteworthy as she competed against athletes from 21 Asian countries.
The partnership with Bhabana Boro for the Rhythmic Yogasana pair event at the Khelo India Youth Games demonstrates Assam’s growing depth of talent in yogasana, a sport that combines physical strength, flexibility, and artistic execution.
