Despite her hearing impairment, Ameesha Chauhan has made history by becoming the first Indian woman to participate in the Winter Deaflympics. Her impressive performances reflect her exceptional skill and determination, writes Milind Dhamdhere
In a world where special-ability often meets with disdain, some perceive it as an opportunity rather than an impediment. Ameesha Chauhan exemplifies this philosophy, turning her disability into a catalyst for extraordinary achievement and national pride.
Despite grappling with a permanent hearing impairment, Chauhan has etched her name in the annals of Indian sports history. She recently made her mark at the Winter Deaflympics, becoming the first deaf woman to represent India in the competition. While victory eluded her in the event held in Erzurum, Turkey, her 10th place finish in the Giant Slalom and 9th place in Alpine Skiing Slalom showcased her prowess on the slopes, a remarkable feat considering the seasoned competition.
Chauhan's triumphs extend beyond the confines of winter sports. She has conquered some of the world's most daunting peaks, including Mount Everest a feat she accomplished twice in a single season, a testament to her indomitable spirit and determination. Her conquests also include formidable summits like Mount Lobuche and Mount Kilimanjaro, demonstrating her versatility and tenacity in the realm of mountaineering.
In an exclusive interview with Sports Champ Magazine, Ameesha Chauhan provided insights into her journey in winter sports and mountaineering.
