Sheetal Devi has swiftly become a force to reckon with! 🏹✨ Can you believe at just 16-years-old, this champion only picked up archery 2-years ago?! From novice to triple medalist at the Asian Para Games, her meteoric rise is truly inspiring 🥇 Her journey to reaching para-athlete status began in the years she spent climbing trees as a pastime in her native country. This activity strengthened her upper body, improved her athleticism, and made scouts take notice of her talent in archery during a local event organized by the Indian Army in 2021. She is the first Indian woman to win two gold medals in a single edition. 🇮🇳🏆 We’re highlighting remarkable #womeninsports history leading up to #Paris2024. Follow along!
Holy cow! She Was so focused I stopped breathing! 🤩 😮💨
Archery is one of those sports where the paralympic athletes should be able to compete against and beat the Olympic athletes.
This left me simultaneously speechless and full of things to say! Watching others elevate in such an impactful way can make one who has less challenges feel the insignificance of their "so called" problems. Not to diminish my own struggles, but man - perspective is a bug out.
It’s amazing what can be accomplished when you encourage, support, and make space for inclusion. I am humbled by the bravery, ingenuity and grit of this outstanding athlete. Bravo!
Amazing Humans have unbelievable potential. It’s only if they choose to unleash it
I never stopped looking at her gaze. That is a determined young woman. Bravo!
Truly inspirational and a shining example. You can still hit your target, overcoming those obstacles and barriers you may be faced with. 🎯 💪
Wow. Super inspirational. My immediate thoughts: Don’t tell me it can’t be done... Work with me to find the solutions.
Very graceful whilst doing something most people cannot do! There's so much patience and experience being demonstrated in this video. I hope that showing such capabilities and adaptability will help educate others to include better and be open-minded.
