World No. 1 Sheetal Devi Prioritises Para Asian Games In Japan, Defers LA28 Paralympics Focus
World Archery Para Champion: World Archery Para Champion and world number one Sheetal Devi is not looking at LA 2028 Paralympics just yet, as she remains rooted in the present, focusing on a step-by-step ascent towards the Para Asian Games later this year in Japan before looking towards the larger goal of the Paralympics.
Last month, Sheetal took the honour of the para-archer of the year at the World Archery Awards after a breakthrough 2025 season that included a world title in Gwangju.
"I don't think too far ahead, like jumping straight to the Paralympics; I prefer taking it step by step," Sheetal said in a press conference organised by Sports Authority of India (SAI). "Even in the World Series, my focus was simply on doing my best. The Paralympics will come later; since the Asian Games are happening first, that is where my main focus lies,' she added.
