By IANS News January 22, 2024 • 18:08 PM View: 881

Khelo India Youth Games: A childhood obsession for medals introduced Chandigarh’s Sapna to sports and she is now fulfilling that dream as a judoka in the ongoing Khelo India Youth Games 2023 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

Sapna's journey started with yoga before she was influenced by some friends to take up judo five years ago. Sapna is now a proud owner of 12 medals, which includes a second Khelo India Youth Games gold which she won in the under-40 kg category here on Sunday.

Sapna, whose father is a welder and mother a housewife, said her parents don’t have any clue about her sport but they have never stopped her from participating.
