Tripura: Ace Indian gymnast Dipa Karmakar announces retirement
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Agartala: Ace Indian gymnast Dipa Karmakar, who missed out on a bronze medal in the 2016 Olympics by a whisker, announced her retirement from the sport on Monday.

Dipa, who became the first female gymnast from the country to compete at the Olympics, finished fourth in the vault event to lose an Olympic medal by just 0.15 points.

Taking to X, the 31-year-old gymnast from Tripura said, “I remember a five-year-old Dipa, who was told that because of her flat feet she could never be a gymnast. Today I am very proud to see my achievements, representing the country on the world stage and winning medals. The most special moment was performing the Produnova vault in the Rio Olympics. It remains the most memorable moment of my career. Today, I feel very happy to see Dipa because she had the courage to dream,” said Dipa in her post.

Signing off from the mat! ❤️

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my journey.
Onto the next chapter🤸🏻‍♀️🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/kW5KQZLr29

Dipa, who became the first Indian to win a gold medal in the Asian championships in Tashkent in May last, said she was proud of her career.

The gymnast said that her last victory in the Asian Championship was a turning point as she felt she could push her body further. “But sometimes our body tells us that it is time to rest. The heart still does not accept it even today,” she added.

“After much thought, I have decided to retire from gymnastics. This decision was not easy for me, but the time is right. I am grateful for every moment, the highs, the lows and everything in between,” said Agartala-based Dipa, who clinched a bronze medal in the 2018 Commonwealth Games and a gold and a bronze in World Cups.

She thanked her family members and coaches Bishweshwar Nandi and Soma Nandi for their support for 25 years.

Dipa said she would contribute to the sport. “My connection with gymnastics will never be lost. I would like to give back to the sport, maybe as a mentor or a coach, by supporting girls like me,” said Dipa.
