NEW DELHI, April 17, 2024 (TBINN)
Asian Para Games Gold-winner Sheetal Devi grabbed a Silver in the Khelo India N.T.P.C. National Ranking Archery Meet, finishing second behind Haryana’s Ekta Rani, who is able-bodied and a junior world champion.
In the competition held at D.D.A. Yamuna Sports Complex, 17-year-old Sheetal competed with able-bodied junior archers and lost 138-140 to Ekta in the Individual Compound Event final.
Sheetal, who was bestowed Arjuna Award earlier this year for her two Gold and a Silver medal winning performance in the Hangzhou Asian Para Games, was born with a rare condition called phocomelia which makes her the first and the only international Para-Archery Champion without arms.
