Dipa Karmakar- Lost Medal ; Won Hearts

Dipa Karmakar has become a name familiar to the world after she represented India at 2016 Summer Olympics. She has become the first Indian gymnast to compete in the Olympics. She stood fourth in the fault final thus losing the bronze medal. However, she won many hearts with her Produnova vault. She finished her two vaults for an average of 15.066 and missed the medal by 0.15 of a point. The 23-year old from Tripura left behind gymnasts from China, North Korea, Uzbekistan and Canada who were more qualified than her. Simon Biles of US won the gold medal, followed by Maria Paseka of Russia and Giulia Steingruben of Switzerland who won the silver and the bronze medal respects.
After her performance in Rio on 15th August 2016, Karmakar told the Indian media, "My target is gold for life." We wish her best of luck and hope that she keeps making India proud.
