The Daily Guardian
|October 28, 2023
Teenaged armless archer Sheetal Devi on Friday became the first Indian woman to win two gold medals in a single edition of the Asian Para Games by claiming the top honours in the women’s individual compound event here.

It is a hat-trick of medals for the 16-year-old from Jammu and Kashmir, who holds her bow with her foot.
Earlier this week, Sheetal won a gold in the compound mixed team event and women’s doubles silver.
Discovered at a military camp in a remote part of Kishtwar and adopted by the Indian Army in her childhood, Sheetal, who became the first armless woman to win a Para World Archery Championships medal in July, defeated Singapore’s Alim Nur Syahidah 144-142 in the gold medal match.
