Who is Shrey Parikh? The Indian-origin teen who won America’s biggest spelling bee
Shrey Parikh, a 14-year-old from Rancho Cucamonga, California, won the Scripps National Spelling Bee after a tense final spell-off against Ishaan Gupta, a 12-year-old from Jersey City, New Jersey. The eighth grader secured the title after spelling 32 words correctly in 90 seconds, while Ishaan managed 25 in the same time, in a contest that stretched across 18 rounds over three days, as the AP quoted from the competition coverage.
