Kajol sargar

Khelo India University Games Rajasthan: Guru Nanak Dev University cyclist Meenakshi Rohilla grabbed the first gold medal of the Khelo India University Games Rajasthan 2025 in the women’s individual time trial here in Jaipur on Tuesday. Kajol Sargar of Shivaji University clinched the weightlifting gold in women’s 48kg and Lovely Professional University’s Sakshi Padekar won the women’s 10m Air Rifle gold as sports action began across multiple venues in the state on Tuesday.

With cycling making its debut in the Khelo India University Games, it was only befitting that the first gold went to a player who was also returning to road events after a long time.

Meenakshi, a 2022 Asian Championships bronze medallist in Team Pursuit, proved that she was a force even in road racing as she bagged the gold medal here with a well-calculated race strategy. She trains at the Sports Authority of India’s National Centre of Excellence in Patiala.
