Aerial Sports World Championship: Indian athlete Vir Gahrotra won a gold medal at the Pole and Aerial Sports World Championship, achieving India’s first-ever podium finish at this international event in Budapest, Hungary.

Vir, a 16-year-old from Mumbai, represented India in the Junior B Amateur Men (15–17 years) aerial silk category. Facing competitors from countries with strong aerial sports traditions like Ukraine, Hungary, and the Czech Republic, Gahrotra delivered a technically demanding and winning performance.
