Description: This concise book traces the journey of Dipa Karmakar, India’s first female Olympic gymnast, who nearly won a medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics by daring to attempt the Produnova vault. Karmakar’s story is one of perseverance, overcoming challenges like flat feet, limited training facilities, and growing up in Agartala, a city without a strong gymnastics tradition. With supportive parents and dedicated coaches, she defied the odds, inspiring important conversations about women athletes in India. This is a Pratham Level 3 book meant for children who are ready to read on their own.
