318 gymnasts will be competing in this summer Olympics being held in Paris. But guess which country won’t be sending any of their gymnasts. It is none other than India. This statement itself poses a significant question as the nation that had once stood up for DipaKarmakar’s stellar performance in Rio Olympics 2016, won’t be sending any gymnasts for the first time in 12 years. Before even being qualified to participate in the Olympics, not only do all athletes have to go through a series of championships, but also secure a significant position in them.India’s current star gymnast PranatiNayak clinched bronze at the Cairo World Cup 2024. But the spark of the Olympics dream drowned when she finished at Ninth Place in Baku, which made her miss the final round that was held at Doha. Thus ending her Paris Olympics aspirations.How can we forget gymnast DipaKarmakar? Unfortunately, injuries took a toll during her final attempt at the Asian Gymnastics Championship in Tashkent.
