Kumari woman jumps for gold at Asia-Pacific Deaf Games
The New Indian Express Tirunelveli
|December 09, 2024
The 21-year-old disabled athlete Sameeha Barvin, who clinched the gold and silver medals in 100m hurdles and long jump respectively at the 10th Asia-Pacific Deaf Games recently, has garnered much praise for her achievement, although her path towards this recognition has been marked by many struggles, said Barvin's family members.
Born to N Mujib and N Salamath, a couple from Kadayalamoodu near Thirparappu in Kanniyakumari district, Barvin lost her ability to speak and hear when she turned six. Her father, who runs a modest restaurant, had sold their ancestral house for her treatment, but to no avail.
