**Indian Student Athlete Nandini Wins Gold at Asian Athletics Championships**
**Gumi, South Korea – May 31, 2025** – Agasara Nandini, a third-year BBA student from the Social Welfare Residential Degree College in Sangareddy, India, has clinched the gold medal in the heptathlon at the 26th Asian Athletics Championships held in Gumi, South Korea.
Nandini secured her victory with a personal best score of 5,941 points. She joins a select group of Indian athletes, becoming only the third Indian to win gold in the heptathlon at the Asian Championships, following Swapna Barman (2017) and Soma Biswas (2005).
The heptathlon is a demanding combined event, encompassing seven track and field disciplines held over two days: the 100 metres hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200 metres, long jump, javelin throw, and 800 metres.
Nandini’s success is attributed to her hard work and the guidance of her coaches, Mr. Saji and Mr. Nagaraju.
TGSWREIS Secretary Alagu Varshini extended her congratulations to Nandini and acknowledged the vital role of the coaches. “Nandini is a shining example of what is possible when vision, effort, and opportunity come together,” Varshini stated.
