Assam’s young karate player Tanuska Borah has brought honour to the state by winning a gold medal at a major national event. Tanuska achieved this milestone at the All India Inter Zonal Karate Championship 2025, which was held at the Talkatora Indoor Stadium in New Delhi. The event saw the participation of players from different zones of the country, and Tanuska stood out with her strong performance.
Tanuska trains at the Shadow Martial Art Academy in Nagaon. According to her coaches, she has been working hard for several months, balancing her studies and sports practice. Her dedication paid off when she reached the finals of the championship. In the final match, she faced a tough player from Telangana. Tanuska kept her focus throughout the bout and finally defeated the Telangana player to secure the gold medal for Assam.
This is not the first time Tanuska has shown such strong performance. Before the Delhi event, she had also won a gold medal at the North East Zone Karate Championship. In that competition, she managed to beat a player from Arunachal Pradesh and took the top position. Winning two important championships back-to-back has made her one of the most promising young karate players from the region. 
With these achievements, Tanuska has now become the first official national gold medallist from both Shadow Martial Art Academy and the Kaliabor area. Her success has been praised by her coaches, teammates and local residents, who feel that her hard work and discipline have set an example for other young sportspersons.
