World Yogasana Championships: What began as a quest for flexibility and artistic excellence has blossomed into a remarkable sporting success story for American mother-daughter duo Kemi and Kimani Blake, who returned home from the World Yogasana Championships in Ahmedabad with a gold and a bronze medal, respectively.

Competing against some of the world's finest yogasana athletes at the EKA Arena, 35-year-old Kemi clinched gold in the Back Bend Individual category, while her 16-year-old daughter Kimani secured bronze in the Junior Artistic Individual event.

Their achievements carried an added layer of significance given their deep connection with India, where they trained alongside local athletes at a Sports Authority of India (SAI) centre in Ahmedabad in the lead-up to the championships.
