Romika remains a very important figure in Sheetal's life. While the inspirational teenager turns heads around the world, Romika quietly does the job as one of the most integral, multi-tasking figures in Sheetal바카라s support team.
Sheetal, meanwhile, is competing in the Compound Women바카라s Open category at the Para Archery event of the . She has already made it to the finals, scheduled for Saturday, December 16, 2023.
바카라Sheetal was not competing for a while after the but now I바카라m happy with her scores here. She has made it to the final in a good fashion and Sheetal tells me that she is happy with the arrangements here at the Khelo India Para Games. There is no difference between this competition and international tournaments,바카라 Romika said.
Romika, a compound archer herself, is the escort of Sheetal during international events. The J&K duo is currently at the JLN Stadium and the chemistry between them cannot be missed.
바카라I feel very happy to be Sheetal바카라s escort. I met her at the Nationals three years back on the request of coach Kuldeep Vedwan and from then, I started being close to her,바카라 Romika mentioned on the sidelines of the Khelo India Para Games.
Apart from helping para athletes during their day-to-day activities, the work of an escort involves off-field assistance as well. Speaking on her everyday work with Sheetal, the 22-year-old adds, 바카라I oversee her practice sessions, carry the arrows, luggages, besides supervising her stretching work as well as ensuing her scoring. Off the field also, I help in feeding her as well as speaking to her whenever she needs a helping hand.
바카라I feel more like a sister to her [Sheetal] even though I바카라m a good friend of her,바카라 continues Romika. 바카라Whenever she is travelling anywhere alone, I feel anxious on how she is doing. She is a little 바카라ziddi바카라 (persistent) as well as 바카라masoom바카라 (innocent) and also watches a lot of serials!
바카라We are inseparable,바카라 Romika said.
Romika also recalled moments from the Asian Para Games 2022 where Sheetal won three medals (2 gold, 1 silver) and made history, becoming the first armless archer in the world to do so.
바카라I was standing just beside her during the last arrows in the Individual Compound final (where Sheetal won the gold). There was tension all around and I missed Kuldeep sir there. But I kept telling her, 바카라Tujhe coach ne jo sikhaya, who yaad rakh바카라 (Remember what coach sir taught you!),바카라 mentions Romika.
As Sheetal Devi continues to inspire countless others with her talent and her determination, it remains imperative that the support structure behind her receives its due credit. Romika Sharma is a part of the same structure, and a pretty significant one. As she continues to carry her incredible work in the shadows, Romika will ensure that when the limelight falls on Sheetal, she is prepared to bask in its glory.
