In a historic outcome at
the 45th Chess Olympiad in Budapest, Hungary, India clinched gold in both the
men’s and women’s categories. Along with the team golds, India secured four
individual gold medals, thanks to D. Gukesh, who won his second consecutive
Olympiad gold, Arjun Erigaisi, Divya Deshmukh and Vantika Agarwal.
India’s dominance
shattered several records, finishing a remarkable four points ahead of their
closest competitors.
My Kolkata extends its heartfelt congratulations to all
those who represented India in both the men’s and women’s Chess Olympiad. Now,
it’s clear that Indian chess is not just in good hands but also has a brilliant
future ahead, with the immense talent and dedication that each player has
displayed. After their well-earned victories, the team celebrated in style with
the Tunak Tunak
Dance. Check out the
celebrations and congratulate the champions of the Chess Olympiad.
