    Khelo India Winter Games: Army made an emphatic start to the Gulmarg leg of the Khelo India Winter Games (KIWG) 2026, winning three of the five gold medals at stake on Day 1 on Monday. CRPF and Himachal Pradesh also finished with gold medals on Monday.

    It was not a day for the favourites as veteran stars like Bhavani Thekkada Nanjunda of Karnataka and Aanchal Thakur of Himachal Pradesh were usurped by skiers who have been doing well in the national circuit.

    Young Jiah Aryan, all of 17 and one of India’s upcoming talents in Alpine skiing from Karnataka, won a bronze in her second Khelo India Winter Games (KIWG). Jiah lined up against seniors like Aanchal and Sandhya Thakur, who have represented India at the Asian Winter Games in Harbin, China, last February. Himachal Pradesh’s Sandhya beat Aanchal in a tight race on the Kongdoori slopes.
