Khelo India Youth Games: Aditi Satish Hegde came to the Khelo India Youth Games 2025 Bihar determined to showcase improvement from the last year when she won five medals, including two gold. Her hard work paid off and the Maharashtra ace set the BIPARD Swimming Pool in Gaya on fire with a haul of seven medals, including five gold.
The Nashik girl’s success was not only by way of winning three gold and two bronze in individual events but also in the manner in which she clipped the times from the last edition in each of the five events in which she competed in both Chennai and Gaya. The best example of this is the 800m Freestyle in which she won only bronze but cut a whopping 19.42 seconds from last year.
Aditi’s three individual gold medals in the Khelo India Youth Games 2025 Bihar came in 200m Freestyle (2:09.51), 400m Freestyle (4:32.87) and 100m butterfly (1:04.73) while she picked up bronze in 800m Freestyle (9:28.20) and 1500m Freestyle (18:22.97).
