Antigua and Barbuda has delivered an outstanding performance across three major regional table tennis events in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, with Stuti Kashyap and Mekhi Simmons leading a breakthrough campaign that signals the nation’s rising presence in Caribbean table tennis.
The journey began at the CAC Qualifier , where Stuti secured a spot among the region’s best, while Mekhi narrowly missed a top-four spot but earned a first alternate position, underlining his growing competitiveness at the highest level.
Competing next in the Senior Central American & Caribbean Championships, both athletes held their own against experienced opposition, gaining valuable exposure and demonstrating Antigua and Barbuda’s ability to compete with confidence on the regional stage.
The highlight came at the Caribbean Youth Championships , where the team surged onto the podium.
Stuti Kashyap captured the coveted U19 Girls Singles title , added U19 Girls Doubles gold alongside St. Lucia’s Shatal Charles, and capped off a dominant showing that places her firmly among the Caribbean’s elite.
The dynamic duo of Kashyap and Mekhi Simmons then combined to secure a bronze medal in U19 Mixed Doubles , further highlighting Antigua and Barbuda’s growing presence on the regional stage.
These performances have secured Stuti’s qualification for three major international events in 2026 — the CAC Games (July), the ITTF Americas Championships (October), and the ITTF Youth Pan American Championships (August) — marking a significant milestone for both the athlete and the country.
This campaign reflects more than results — it signals momentum. With emerging talent, growing confidence, and tangible success on the regional stage, Antigua and Barbuda table tennis is not just participating — it is progressing.
