Cup Sepaktakraw World Championships: In any walk of life, the journey towards glory often passes through the tunnels of struggle and challenges. This has also been the case for Indian Speak Takraw women’s team players and 2023 Asian Games Bronze medallists Oinam Chaoba Devi and Ayekpam Maipak Devi.

Representing Manipur in the 37th National Games Goa, the duo won the gold medal in the Women’s Team event and Women’s Regu event, defeating Goa and Nagaland respectively in the finals.

Chaoba Devi, 34, has represented India at the Asian Games on four separate occasions. Although the Indian Women’s Team is held in high esteem now owing to their bronze medal in the Quadrant event and Silver medal in the Regu event at the King’s Cup Sepaktakraw World Championships in 2023 and the Asian Games Bronze medal in the Women’s Regu event, things were not always the same for the National team until recent years.
