After winning the FIDE World Chess Championship, 18-year-old Gukesh D celebrated his historic victory in style by attempting his first-ever bungee jump in Singapore. Following a dramatic win over China’s Ding Liren, Gukesh shared a video of himself preparing for the bungee jump at the Sentosa Skypark, expressing both excitement and nervousness. Gukesh became the youngest chess world champion and the second Indian after Viswanathan Anand to achieve this feat. He also played a pivotal role in India’s Olympiad gold earlier this year. The young grandmaster’s victory has catapulted him to stardom in India and worldwide.
