World Archery Para Championships: After scripting history by qualifying for her first able-bodied international meet, Paralympic medallist archer Sheetal Devi reflected on her new achievement and said, learning from every setback, she fulfilled her goal to compete alongside the able-bodied athletes.
The 18-year-old para-archer earned a place in the junior archery team for the Asia Cup Stage 3 in Jeddah next month after finishing third in the final women’s compound rankings at the four-day national selection trials in Sonipat.
For Sheetal, born without arms due to a rare congenital condition called phocomelia, the achievement is the realisation of a long-held dream.
