Imphal: Aavya Khomdram, an 8-year-old Manipuri girl, has secured the 2nd runner-up position at the Asian Open Schools Invitational Swimming Championships 2025, held in Bangkok, Thailand. However, there seems to be a discrepancy in the dates mentioned – the event took place from September 6-7, 2025, but the news article mentions August 9, 2025, as the date.
*Aavya’s Achievements:*
– *Medals:* 4 gold medals, 4 silver medals, and 1 bronze medal
– *Total Score:* 206 points
– *Ranking:* 2nd runner-up among 149 participants from 18 Asian nations

Interestingly, Aavya’s achievements aren’t isolated; the Asian Open Schools Invitational Swimming Championships 2025 saw talented swimmers from various countries, including Maldives, setting national records and winning medals.
