- Fifteen months ago, Dev Shah spent a miserable five hours spelling outdoors in chilly, windy, damp conditions at a supersize regional competition in Orlando, only to fall short of his dream of returning to the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
“Despondent is the right word,” Dev said. “I just didn’t know if I wanted to keep continuing.”
Look at him now.
Soft-spoken but brimming with confidence, Dev asked precise questions about obscure Greek roots, rushed through his second-to-last word and rolled to the National Spelling Bee title Thursday night.
Dev, a 14-year-old from Largo, first competed at the national bee in 2019, then had his spelling career interrupted. The 2020 bee was canceled because of COVID-19, and in the mostly virtual 2021 bee, he didn't make it to the in-person finals, held in his home state on ESPN's campus at Walt Disney World.

He is so mature
Hes kinda cute
He seems nervous
no it was just 5 in the morning..that's why
He was focused on one thing, since he nailed it, he would think about the next now..
He seems autistic. I mean that in the nicest way. I'm autistic and I relate to this kid so hard.
@@brooklyn6064no, he's just a shy child who is trying to suppress his childishness by suppressing his emotions.
@@ultra_sharp while you are probably right, what you described is a pretty good description of how some people appear autistic lol. But like I said, there is a good chance he's not. I just relate to his awkwardness.
Is he gay
iidiot .... he is good in spelling not in TV/ video chaating
I don’t know that but you seem to be a child abuser to me
You might be 16
If he is then his parents will kill him jk 😂😂😂
