How Mother’s Advice Helped Sohan Tarkar Beat Depression And Return To Competitive Ice Skating
Khelo India Winter Games: Often getting up after biting the dust is the most difficult thing in life, and Sohan Tarkar should be proud of himself for having pulled it off. The Maharashtra short-track ice skater had significant successes to speak of before depression pulled him down almost six years ago.
Tarkar started doing ice skating in 2010 and reached the 1500 m semifinal of the Asian Winter Games in Sapporo, Japan, in 2017. He has also qualified multiple times for the Junior World Championships. Twice he has qualified for the Senior World Cups (Germany and Italy being the venues), but unfortunately on both occasions he couldn’t obtain the Schengen visa.
Despondency and grief consumed him as a result. This was in the months before the Covid-19 outbreak happened. Then the pandemic made his situation worse. A lack of physical activity led to his gaining 20 kg in weight, which, mind you, could be very counterproductive in the sport.
