Maharashtra’s Sanyukta Kale swept all the five gold medals on offer in Rhythmic Gymnastics to emerge as the brightest star in the Khelo India Youth Games on Tuesday, June 7.

Kale's (16) clean sweep helped Maharashtra (24 gold, 22 silver, 17 bronze) sneak past Haryana (23G, 20S, 29B) at the time of writing. Kale towered over the field, clinching gold medals in all-round, hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon rhythmic events.

“I am very happy with my performance but my main focus is now to make it to the Indian team for the Commonwealth Games and then aim to qualify for the Paris Olympics,” said the Thane resident.

On the other hand, Maharashtra won both the 4x100 relays, the Girls' 100m, and the Boy’s high jump (Aniket Mane, with a 2.07m leap) to add to their two in wrestling and one in badminton.

Similarly, Maharashtra’s Sudeshna Shivankar dominated the Girls' 100m event, clocking 11.79 seconds. She then came back to anchor the 4x100m relay team for gold immediately after the boys achieved the same feat.

Likewise, the state's Darshan Pujari clinched the Badminton Boy’s Singles gold, to lift the spirits in their camp.
