AGARTALA, Sep 12 (TIWN): Little Laureates school kids felicitate Dipa Karmakar at her own residence, Abhoynagar Agartala. Dipa was wearing Rio-Olympic-2016 T-shirt on that occasion and distributed chocolates among the kids.
Dipa flooded with joy to have those little kids with her. “This is really a wonderful moment”, said Dipa, while she was sharing moments with the kids.
Dipa is the first Indian gymnast to make the cut in the Olympics in 52 years. She is a specialist at ‘Prudonova’ vault and would also attempt the Tsukahara 720 vault. She is the fifth woman gymnast in the world to be skilled in the Prudonova.
Although the nation was expecting gold from Dipa but unfortunately Dipa dropped to fourth position and narrowly missed gold in the Rio Olympic. Karmakar scored 15.066 points in the final but clinching upto 4th position and representing India at such big platform is highly appreciable.
Not getting any gold didn’t upset her to much as she is determined to achieve medal in Rio. However, Dipa and her coach are highly satisfied as she made it upto Rio and now her target is Tokyo 2020.
