U.S. Spelling Bee Runs Out Of Words In Marathon 66-Round
CHICAGO: Missouri county's annual spelling bee competition between 13-year-old Kush Sharma and 11-year-old Sophia Hoffman ended in a tie
A spelling bee competition in the US has been tied between a 13-year-old Indian-origin boy and a 11-year-old girl after they duelled for 66 rounds until finally the judges ran out of words.
Kush Sharma, a seventh-grader at Frontier School of Innovation, and Sophia Hoffman, a fifth-grader at Highland Park Elementary, battled in Missouri county's annual spelling bee competition with both of them getting every word right.
Finally, the judges ran out of words and the contest between them will resume on March 8 for a spot in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington.
"We did not want to just go through the dictionary and give them more words. We feared that someone would get a word that was too easy while the other would get an extremely difficult word," said Mary Olive Thompson, outreach coordinator for Kansas City Public Library where the event was held. "We wanted to be a bit more calculated and neutral, and we wanted to give each an equal opportunity," she was quoted as saying by CNN.
