On top of the world, it's indescribable: Avani Lekhara after winning gold at Tokyo Paralympics
The Hindu
Avani Lekhara became the first Indian woman to win a gold medal at the Paralympics, firing her way to the top of the podium in the R-2 women’s 10m Air Rifle Standing SH1 event in Tokyo
A car accident in 2012 left Avani Lekhara wheelchair-bound but on Monday the shooter felt "on top of the world" after becoming the first Indian woman to snare a Paralympic gold medal. Focussing on only one shot at a time and shutting out everything else did the trick for Lekhara. She fired her way to the top of the podium in the R-2 women's 10m air rifle standing SH1 event. "I can't describe this feeling, I'm feeling like I'm on top of the world. It's unexplainable," she said after the triumph.
