Don’t be fooled by Kayan Anklesaria’s slight frame or his tender age. His rich haul of medals is proof that he is made of sterner stuff. The 13-year-old brain cancer survivor won the most medals — four — in the Indian contingent at the annual World Children’s Winners’ Games held in Moscow from June 2-4.
The sports event, held exclusively for childhood cancer survivors, saw 14 Indian participants — all from Mumbai — competing with 550 children from 16 countries. The Indian cancer survivors, aged 7-16, won 26 medals — eight gold, 11 silver, and seven bronze — in five categories.
