'I Am Grateful For Every Moment': Dipa Karmakar Announces Retirement From Gymnastics
FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Challenge: Indian gymnast Dipa Karmakar announced her retirement from the sport in an emotional social media post titled "Signing off from the mat". Deepa became a household name after performing the Produnova Vault in the 2016 Rio Olympics but missed a medal by just 0.15 points. She finished fourth behind Simone Biles, Maria Paseka and Giulia Steingrubber in the vault event, becoming the first Indian gymnast to achieve this milestone.
Deepa made history soon after when she became the first Indian gymnast to win a gold medal in the FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Challenge Cup in 2018.
"Bahut sochne ke baad, mainne yeh decision liya hain, ki main Gymnastics se retire ho rahi hu. Ye decision mere liye aasan nahi tha, but yahi sahi waqt hai. Gymnastics meri zindagi ka ek bahut bada hissa hain (After thinking it out thoroughly, I've concluded to hang my boots. It was not an easy decision, but it is the right time. Gymnastics was a big part of my life), and I am grateful for every moment — the highs, the lows, and everything in between," Dipa wrote in a social media post.
