A 14-year-old spelling whiz, Shrey Parikh, crushed it at the Scripps National Spelling Bee, setting a new record with 32 flawless words—including the obscure “Bromocriptine”—to win the $50,000 prize. It was his third finals appearance, and he battled fierce rival Ishaan Gupta, who nailed 25 words. Under crushing pressure, Shrey called it an emotional rollercoaster.
