AGARTALA, Aug 14 (TIWN): Wishing for Dipa’s success at the finals of Rio Olympic which is scheduled to be held on August 14 night at 11.27 pm according IST, the members of the Lal Bahadur club on Sunday in behalf of entire Tripura offered prayer to God.

Indian gymnast Dipa Karmakar has already made India proud with her achievements — first, by qualifying for the Rio 2016 Olympics and becoming the only Indian woman in history to participate in the gymnastics event, and then, making it to the finals of the vault event in the games. What happens next is only to be experienced when it happens, but if she manages to clinch a medal, it will be nothing but sheer history and magnificence.

The 'vault of death' or the produnova has been Dipa's biggest weapon in her gymnastics career so far. She is one of the very few athletes in the world to perfect the vault, giving India plenty of reasons to feel proud.

It's been a long ride for the girl from Tripura, words of praise and salute also go to Dipa's coach Bisweswar Nandi for moulding and grooming a champion despite numerous odds and challenges. Back home, Dipa's father Dulal Karmakar, a weightlifting coach, too can't express his joy watching his daughter excel at the highest level.
