“…Our athletes create history again with India’s first-ever medal in a mixed-team event at the Olympics! Congratulations to Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh for winning Bronze in the mixed 10m air pistol. A special call out to Manu for becoming the first Indian to win two medals in a single Olympic edition. The entire nation is keeping its fingers crossed for her hat-trick now! Here’s wishing all our athletes the very best for the Games ahead. Go, India, go!” — Mrs Nita Ambani

Most of us can't do what Simran just did. And yet she isn't trending or in the news. She is a blind runner and just won gold for India 🇮🇳 in 200m finishing in 25.95 secs at ParaAthletics World Championship. Go out and try running 200m at that pace. You will feel your lungs in your hand. Simran was born with semi-developed ears and was kept for seven months in an incubator. Doctors had given up hope and were not sure of her survival. But 22 years later, she became the first Indian woman to qualify for the 100-metre track event in Tokyo Paralympics. Remember the name Simran Sharma for Paris. Her husband is her coach who is a soldier in Indian Army. The family had to take loan and sell their land to fund for her training. The least we can do is talk about her. Share about her. She is not expecting that. But if we don't do that, her hard work and grit will go unnoticed.
