    Khelo India Beach Games: Home favourite Princess Alexander Thomas of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu clinched the first gold medal of the Khelo India Beach Games (KIBG) 2026 with a confident performance in the women’s Tunngal category in Pencak Silat, while Raja Das of West Bengal emerged victorious in men’s Tunngal at the Ghoghla Beach here on Tuesday.

    With two medals up for grabs on the second day of competition on Tuesday, the hosts were in contention to win both the gold medals, just like last year. Princess Alexander Thomas gave them a perfect start as she defeated Bhoomika Jitendra Jain of Madhya Pradesh in the women’s final.

    Last edition's gold medallist Prasanna Bendre was the favourite in the men’s final against Raja Das, but the West Bengal athlete showcased better technical ability to prevail over the home favourite.
