Stuti Kashyap Secures Bronze for Antigua and Barbuda at ITTF Americas Youth Championships
Rosario, Argentina — In a thrilling display of resilience and determination, 16-year-old Stuti Kashyap has delivered another historic podium finish for Antigua and Barbuda, capturing the bronze medal in the U-19 Girls’ Singles category at the ITTF Americas Youth Championships 2025.
Her route to the semifinals featured a dramatic 4-3 quarterfinal win over Brazil’s Beatriz Fiore, showcasing both grit and tactical maturity. Though she would fall to the USA’s Sally Moyland in straight sets in the semifinals, Stuti’s performance marks a resounding comeback just days after a heartbreaking loss at the Junior Pan American Games in Asunción, Paraguay.
“This bronze is not just a win — it’s a redemption,” said Charles “Chucky” Bellot, President of the Antigua and Barbuda Table Tennis Association (ABTTA). “We were heartbroken at the Junior Pan Am Games because we wanted so badly to bring home a medal for Antigua and Barbuda in a multi-sport event. But sport oftentimes gives you second chances, and Stuti grabbed hers with both hands. We are incredibly proud.”
With World Rankings of #31 (U17) and #56 (U19), Kashyap continues to make her mark on the regional and global stage. This latest success fuels momentum ahead of her next major test — the ITTF Pan American Championships, scheduled for October 12–19, 2025 in Rock Hill, South Carolina, where she has already qualified based on her world and continental standings.
As 2025 continues to unfold, the Antigua and Barbuda Table Tennis Association remains encouraged by the steady gains being made both on and off the table. From breakout performances to deepening international ties, ABTTA extends sincere thanks to the Antigua and Barbuda National Olympic Committee (ABNOC), the Athlete Development and Review Panel (ADARP), the People’s Republic of China, the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), and all those whose ongoing encouragement, partnership, and belief in our young athletes are helping to elevate the sport to new heights.
