Manasi Joshi: The Para-Athlete Determined to Win a Medal for India in the Paris Paralympics 2024
Manasi Joshi is a para-athlete who has been making waves in the Indian sports scene. Despite missing out on the Tokyo Paralympics, she is determined to bring home a medal for India in the Paris Paralympics 2024. With badminton expected to give India a significant share of its medals, Manasi will have to be at her best to fulfil the promises.
Manasi’s journey to becoming a para-athlete is nothing short of inspiring. In 2011, she met with a tragic accident that resulted in the amputation of her left leg. However, this did not deter her from pursuing her passion for sports. She took up para-badminton and has been excelling in the sport ever since.
Manasi’s achievements in para-badminton are impressive. She is a two-time World Para-Badminton Champion and a three-time Asian Para Games medallist. She has also won several other international and national tournaments. Her success in the sport has made her a role model for many aspiring para-athletes in India.
Despite her success, Manasi faced a setback when she missed out on the Tokyo Paralympics due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, she did not let this disappointment get the better of her. Instead, she used this time to train harder and prepare for the Paris Paralympics 2024.
With three days to go for the start of the Paralympics, Manasi is gearing up for the biggest challenge of her career. She will be competing in the women’s singles SL3 category, which is for athletes with lower limb impairments. The competition will be tough, but Manasi is confident in her abilities.
Manasi’s determination and resilience are what make her a true champion. She has overcome numerous obstacles to get to where she is today, and she continues to inspire others with her story. Her journey is a testament to the fact that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible.
As Indians, we should all rally behind Manasi and support her in her quest for a medal at the Paris Paralympics 2024. She has already made us proud with her achievements, and we can only imagine what she will accomplish in the future.
