KITG 2026: Fighting Illness, Arunachal’s Anai Wangsu Chases Brother’s Unfulfilled Dreams, Lifts Memorable Gold
Khelo India Tribal Games: Days before Arunachal Pradesh weightlifter Anai Wangsu was to fly out to Raipur for the inaugural Khelo India Tribal Games (KITG) 2026, she had to be admitted to the hospital as her chronic gastric issues had flared up once again. She had to be put on intravenous fluids to regain strength, but a few days later, the weightlifter won a gold medal in Chhattisgarh.
The 21-year-old has been battling chronic gastric issues since 2019, and the illness strikes without warning, bringing weakness, dehydration, and extreme fatigue. In a sport like weightlifting, physical strength and balance are crucial.
But undeterred by the ailment, Anai Wangsu was back in training the very next day after being discharged, as she was keen to change the narrative of near misses in her career.
