Sarita Dwivedi has etched her name in sporting history after winning two bronze medals at the World Boccia Challenger 2024, held in Cairo, Egypt, from July 16 to 22. She earned her first medal in the BC-3 Individual category and her second in the BC-3 Pairs event — marking India’s first-ever medal in this category. Competing against 12 other nations, Sarita’s success contributed to India’s highest medal tally in the tournament’s history.

Her achievement is a story of remarkable perseverance and strength. At just four years old, Sarita lost both her arms and a leg in a tragic accident. What could have ended her dreams instead became the foundation of her determination. Refusing to let her circumstances define her, she embraced sports as a way to prove that willpower and hard work can overcome any limitation.

Through years of dedication, training, and mental fortitude, Sarita rose to become one of India’s most inspiring para-athletes. Her victories in Cairo not only highlight her personal triumph but also serve as an inspiration to athletes with disabilities across the nation.

Beyond her achievements on the court, Sarita continues to make a difference in people’s lives through her work at the Artificial Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India (ALIMCO) in Kanpur. There, she helps empower individuals with disabilities, offering support, encouragement, and access to tools that can transform their futures.

Sarita’s journey is a shining example of resilience, courage, and the unbreakable human spirit.
