No other Indian has ever been crowned an Asian champion in any gymnastics apparatus.

India’s Dipa Karmakar scripted history by winning the gold medal in the women’s vault apparatus at the Asian Gymnastics Championships 2024 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan on Sunday. This is the first time that an Indian gymnast managed to win a gold medal in any event at the Asian Championships.

Previously, Indian gymnasts managed four medals, all bronze, at the continental championships. Dipa Karmakar herself accounted for one of these with a third-place finish in women’s vault in 2015.

The news said that earlier on Friday, Dipa Karmakar finished 16th in the all-round category in Tashkent with a score of 46.166 and failed to secure a Paris Olympics 2024 quota for India in gymnastics. The Philippines’ Emma Malabuyo, who finished third with 50.398, obtained the only Olympic quota offer from the Tashkent meet. She is also the first Indian female gymnast to compete at the Olympics and finished a credible fourth in women’s vault at Rio 2016 - the best display by any gymnast at the Summer Games to date.

She is good athelete and performed well in Olympics held in 2016. Gymnastics is not a very famous sport here in India , if she is doing well that means she has extremely done well.

She brings fame and glory to your country so she deserves honor. Gold medalist in the Philippines during the Olympics receive up to 10 million pesos $ 115, 000 excluding the house and lot and car.

Congratulations to our Indian girl. Gymnastics needs a very flexible body.

Wow, good news. This is the first time seeing an Indian gymnast win multiple medals. Look at that form, she is well trained I would say. Her build is something that some girls cannot achieve.

In India too they get lots of money and other things and latest example is of Indian cricket team who won T20 World Cup few days ago.

All countries attributed their athletes with cash and other items as tokens or their actions performed during Olympics. They bring fame and honor to their country.

Money is to drive them to give it their best aside from pride and honor to the country. Athletes are given the support they need. If they are well compensated, I think that they are not going to perform well.

Yes, that's right. Let's hope our Philippines athletes will bring home the bacon like EJ our Pole Vault 2nd in the works, Yulo our gymnast , Marcial, Paalam and Nesty our boxers and more. I'm so excited now.

I hope for the best to our Gilas Pilipinas as they play the OQT in Latvia. They defeated Latvia and will face Georgia. If they win against Georgia, they are still in the running to qualify.
All the best to all athletes.

 

[Starmix]

Let's hope because the basketball players from Georgia are tall and huge. Last time they didn't qualify for the Olympics.

 

[itsmejob]

I believe they have a chance after upsetting Latvia. The Gilas guys have got the confidence they needed after winning against the number 6 team in the world. Still, hoping for the best for them.
