A heartwarming video has gone viral on social media, capturing the inspiring journey of a 13-year-old girl from Loidhar village in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar region.
The young girl, who hails from the same village as India's Paralympics 2024 star archer Sheetal Devi, is seen training in archery under the guidance of coach Kuldeep Vedwan.
What makes this story remarkable is that, like Sheetal, the girl has no legs and arms.
The video showcases coach Vedwan helping the determined teenager put on a specially designed prosthetic bow, specifically crafted for para-archery.
This unique bow is similar to the one Sheetal Devi has used in her competitive games, most recently at the Paris Paralympics.
The girl's dedication and determination to pursue archery, despite her physical challenges, has touched the hearts of many, drawing comparisons to her idol, Sheetal Devi.
Sheetal Devi herself has become a social media sensation, garnering massive praise for her outstanding performance in the ongoing Paralympic Games in Paris.
Her immaculate accuracy and unwavering spirit have caught the attention of several eminent personalities, making her a symbol of inspiration for aspiring athletes across the country.
Sheetal's Paralympics campaign began on a high note with a strong performance in the women's compound event, where she finished second in the qualification round with a score of 703, breaking the world record.
Although she narrowly missed out on gold, losing by just one point to Chile's Mariana Zuniga, she demonstrated incredible resilience.
Sheetal then went on to win a bronze medal in the mixed team compound event alongside her partner, Rakesh Kumar.
The duo triumphed over Italy's Matteo Bonacina and Eleonora, securing a 156-155 victory at the historic Invalides venue, further solidifying Sheetal's legacy in para-archery.
