Auckland House School has added another feather to its cap with an extraordinary performance by student-athlete Tejasvi Kuthiala at the Asian Open Short Track Speed Skating Trophy 2026, held in Dehradun from August 17 to 20.

The prestigious tournament hosted top talent from over a dozen powerhouse sporting nations, including China, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, and Chinese Taipei. Facing off against Asia’s elite, Tejasvi displayed remarkable grit, speed, and composure on the ice, making both her hometown of Shimla and her school immensely proud.
Celebrating her spectacular feat, the Auckland House School management and student body extended warm congratulations. “Tejasvi’s success is a testament to raw dedication, hard work, and unyielding focus,” the school community shared, adding that her performance serves as a massive inspiration for young athletes across the region. With her eye now set on future national and international arenas, Tejasvi has firmly put Shimla’s winter-sports talent on the continental map.
