Alessandro Penco 0 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Dipa Karmakar has become the first female Indian gymnast to qualify for the Olympics, after giving an astounding performance at the final qualifying event in Rio de Janeiro. The 22-year-old is also the first gymnast from the country to participate in the Olympics since 1964. http://www.desiblitz.com/content/first-indian-woman-gymnast-qualifies-for-olympics What do you think about it? What can we expect from this new young talent? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thatsnotmypuppy 559 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I don't care how she does in Rio - I care about the standard of living she has in India and if she has the opportunities outside gymnastics to live a safe, prosperous life. Yay for Indian Gymnastics and congrats to her for surviving rampant female infanticide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MissEurasia 60 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Good for her! She was a finalist in the Vaulting Event Finals at last years Championships and is a 2014 Commonwealth Games Bronze Medallist on Vault too! She performs one of the hardest Vaults in the World. Good luck to her and can't wait to see her! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alessandro Penco 0 Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Dipa has earned an overall 52.698 points in the Test event. She scores the highest in vault (15.066), making her the best performer out of 14 competitors. She scores 13.366 and 12.566 points in balance beam and floor exercise, but falls short in uneven bars with only 11.700 points. I think that it's a very good scoore!!!!
