Asian Youth Table Tennis Championships: Rising Indian paddler Divyanshi Bhowmick continued her remarkable run in 2025 as she became only the second Indian to secure a singles medal in the U-15 girls category at the ongoing ITTF World Youth Championships 2025 at the BT Arena, Cluj Napoca, in Romania, on Sunday.

In the semifinals, Divyanshi went down fighting against China’s Zhu Qihui 4-1 (12-10, 10-12, 6-11, 4-11, 8-11). Before bowing out in the last-four stage, the young Indian displayed a strong performance as she registered hard-fought victories over opponents from Europe, Korea, and Japan.

This performance further adds to what has been a landmark season for the 15-year-old from Kolkata in West Bengal.
