AGARTALA, Oct 6 (TIWN): Tripura Assembly felicitates Dipa Karmakar at her residence in Abhoynagar for her national level achievement in Gymnast history.

Before Tripura Assembly has felicitated her, she had received thousands of felicitations statewide.

From political parties to various schools, institutions have congratulated her for becoming the first Indian Gymnast woman who qualified for Olympic.

Dipa is the first Indian gymnast to make the cut in the Olympics in 52 years. She is a specialist at ‘Prudonova’ vault. She is the fifth woman gymnast in the world to be skilled in the Prudonova.

Although the nation was expecting gold from Dipa but unfortunately Dipa dropped to fourth position and narrowly missed gold in the Rio Olympic.

Dipa Karmakar returned empty handed from the Vaults final at the Gymnastics event of Rio 2016 Olympics after she finished the event at fourth position. Karmakar scored 15.066 points in the final but clinching upto 4th position and representing India at such big platform is highly appreciable.

However, Dipa and her coach are highly satisfied as she made it upto Rio and now her target is Tokyo 2020.

But Dipa's age of 23 yrs now might face a problem as she will be 27 yrs age at Tokyo 2020. It is highly exceptional for athletes to stay active after 23-25 yrs as body nerves start to stiffen-up according to progressing age.
