Archery | Reward for hard work, says archer Ridhu Varshini
The Hindu
Became first archer from TN to be part of the compound gold medal-winning team
Fourteen-year-old S. Ridhu Varshini made history by becoming the first archer from Tamil Nadu to be part of the compound gold medal-winning team in the World Youth Championships, which concluded in Wroclaw (Poland) recently. “It feels great. All the hard work that I’ve put in has borne fruit. The credit goes not just to me but to my coach (R. Yuvaraja), parents, physio and psychologist [of the Indian team] and the team led by Shihan Hussaini, secretary of The Archery Association of Tamil Nadu,” said Ridhu to The Hindu on Wednesday, after her arrival in Chennai from Poland. Beating Turkey in the cadet (u-18) girls’ final was satisfying, Ridhu felt. She attributed the team gold to the friendship she forged with co-archers Parneet Kaur and Priya Gurjar.
