KIUG 2025: Pooja Bishnoi, Farmer’s Daughter From Bikaner, Pedals Her Way Into History
Khelo India University Games: Rajasthan's Pooja Bishnoi made history in Khelo India University Games (KIUG) 2025 by winning the medal of the event for the hosts in cycling.
Pooja's victory in the women’s elite 30 km individual time trial along the Jaipur-Agra Highway was not only a victory over the other participants but also over the adversity of different kinds, as she won a silver medal in the event.
Pooja Bishnoi, a 22-year-old from a small village in Bikaner and the daughter of a farmer, wearing bib number -44, wasn’t just another athlete in the lineup. She was a story of grit and defiance-someone who had pedaled her way through obstacles far greater than steep roads or tight curves. By the end of the event, she would become the first athlete to win a medal for Rajasthan, the host state, at the seventh edition of the Games, representing Maharaja Ganga Singh University.
