It’s one thing to relax and unwind while watching the Olympics. It’s another thing entirely to be immersed in an ethereal battle of nerves and unrivaled abilities while competing in gigantic events. It’s even more challenging when you’re dealing with bodily challenges while aiming for greatness. We’ve gathered a list of some of the most memorable moments from Deepa Malik’s incredible Paralympic success.

1. Deepa Malik made history by being the first Indian woman to win a medal at the prestigious Paralympic Games. Deepa’s magnificent feat in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, sent hearts racing and heads turning in awe in front of hundreds of thousands of sports fans in Central America.

2. Deepa Malik won an astounding Silver Medal in the shotput F-53 competition in Rio on Monday, with a throw of 4.61 metres. It is past time for India to stand up and recognize our lesser-known heroes. It is a splendid accomplishment for a Paralympics competitor and a genuinely historic moment if you are an Indian.

3. Deepa is a 45-year-old woman from Sonipat, Haryana. Deepa is a member of the working group for the formulation of the 12th five-year plan on Sports and Physical Education, which is part of the HRD Divison’s programme under the Government of India. She was born into a traditional Jat family. The Sports Ministry is in the same boat.

4. Deepa Malik, a proud Indian daughter, was nominated for and awarded the renowned Arjuna Award in 2012 at the age of 42. The Arjuna Award is a legitimate acknowledgment of tremendous achievement for any athlete, regardless of the discipline in which he or she excels.

5. Deepa’s amazing accomplishments include silver medals in the discus and shot throw at the prestigious 2011 World Championships. In a spectacular career at the State level, the all-conquering athlete has also won 47 Gold, 5 Silver, and 2 Bronze medals.

6. Deepa trailed ahead of Greek Dimitra Korokida, who earned Bronze with a shot put distance of 4.28 metres, virtually matching the remarkable accomplishment of Bahrain’s Fatima Nedham, who eloped with a Gold. Deepa’s personal best distance was 4.61 metres.
