Never Dreamt Of Olympics, Just Hoped For A Job To Support Family, Says Paralympian Simran
Gagan Narang Sports Foundation: Paralympian Simran Sharma shared her challenging journey and the battles she fought from being a premature baby not expected to survive to representing India on the world stage, her journey is one of grit, heartbreak and unshakeable resolve.
Her path to the track was not typical, it was filled with challenges on every step, which started right from the time she was born.
"Doctors said I wouldn’t make it, and back then, no one was too bothered - it was early, and I was a girl. But my father decided to keep me alive. I survived without machines but with many problems. I grew up with weak eyes, muscles, and body. I never even dreamt of the Olympics - just hoped for a small job to support my family," Simran recalled at the House of Glory podcast, an initiative by the Gagan Narang Sports Foundation.
