Jaanvi Yadav Wins KIUG 48kg Judo Gold in Udaipur After Injury Comeback

Khelo India funding plus family backing enabled her return from shoulder surgery.

Overview

The 19-year-old clinched the KIUG 2025 women's 48kg title in Udaipur, adding to her 2024 bronze for Guru Nanak Dev University.
She returned to competition after roughly seven months out with a left shoulder injury sustained in 2023 and operated on earlier this year.
Her family is still awaiting the return of Rs 2.5 lakh lost in a 2022–23 duping tied to a promised ISF World School Gymnasiade trip.
She credits a Khelo India stipend with covering key needs such as nutrition, training gear, and travel, easing the financial load at home.
A BPES student from Dwarka who trains at the Ramvir Solanki Club, she now targets the Junior National trials next month.
