Jaipur, Nov 27 (NationPress) Bhavya Sachdeva, a swimmer from Jain University, achieved a remarkable feat by winning a golden double in individual events and contributing another gold in the women’s 4x100 medley relay. This victory boosted her total gold medal count to seven at the Khelo India University Games Rajasthan 2025, held at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium complex on Thursday.

On Thursday, Bhavya, who had previously secured one individual and one relay gold in the initial two days of competition, began her gold medal journey in the women’s 800m freestyle category, clocking a time of 9:37.41s. Earlier this year, she made history as the first Indian woman to earn a medal at the Asian Aquatic Championships. Shortly after, she dominated the 200m freestyle event, finishing with a time of 2:13.55s.

Swimmers from Jain University showcased their prowess by winning eight out of the eleven gold medals available, elevating their total gold medal count to 20. In a competitive race for second place in the medals tally, Guru Nanak Dev University and Lovely Professional University were neck-and-neck.

By day’s end, Lovely Professional University claimed the second position with a total of 17 gold medals, having excelled in disciplines such as archery, shooting, judo, and wrestling. Guru Nanak Dev University secured 15 gold medals, including victories in all three team gold categories in fencing, along with one each in shooting and judo.

In archery, Anshika Kumari and Devaang Gupta triumphed in the recurve men’s and women’s finals, respectively, and later led LPU to a team gold. Anshika triumphed over Srishti Jaiswal of Panjab University with a score of 6-2, while Gupta defeated Sahil Shelar from Shivaji University with a score of 6-4.

In the team events, Lovely Professional University’s women defeated Kurukshetra University 6-0, and the men’s team overcame Shivaji University 6-2.

However, in the Recurve Mixed Team final, Anshika and Gupta faced a setback, losing in a tiebreaker against Rani Durgavati Vishwavidyalaya’s Kartika Bichpuriya and Deepanshu Nanda.

Meanwhile, at the same complex, Rajkanwar Singh Sandhu from Lovely Professional University secured gold in the 25m Rapid Fire Pistol event with a score of 29, narrowly defeating Devansh Vashishtya from Panjab University by just one point.

In the men’s 10m Air Rifle event, Yash Vardhan earned the first gold medal of the Games for Manipal University, Rajasthan, with a score of 252.7 in the final. He and silver medalist Maddineni Uma Mahesh of KLEF University were closely matched throughout the final, but Yash’s impressive 10.8 in his initial shot secured him the win, as his closest competitor only managed a 9.9.

In the badminton competition, University of Mumbai will face Chitkara University in the men’s team final, while the women’s final will feature SRM University going against Lovely Professional University.

In Bikaner, Logeswaran S made headlines on Day 3 of the weightlifting events, claiming his first-ever KIUG gold medal. Representing Thiruvallur University, the Tamil Nadu-born lifter excelled in the men’s 79kg category with a total lift of 305kg, comprising 135kg in Snatch and 170kg in Clean & Jerk, marking a significant breakthrough in his third KIUG appearance.
