Just so we know International press has been going ga-ga over her. WSJ , BBC all did major stories on her because she is the only gymnast in the last 20 years to perform Produnova at the CWG which won her the bronze. That move is the toughest move ever.It's her b'day today and she is from Tripura.Girl has been buzzing all around before Olympics for making history by being there. It's okay to not know about her,but for an ambassador for the games, it takes a minute to check and do their homework.Go cheer for the girl, she might not win a medal but she is already bringing so much glory.
Tuesday, Are you talking about the finals? I think it is on Sunday( Aug 14).If it was about something else,apologies.
And rest of the post, I concur.
It is perfectly fine not to know about her but man,all Social
networking are sites are buzzing with articles about her,since she qualified for Rio 2016.One of the five gymnasts to successfully attempt Produnova .She is indeed making the country proud already.
