Asiad  

Born with six toes in both her feet, Swapna Barman's plight came to light only after she became the first Indian athlete to win an Asiad gold in heptathlon . 

After winning two silver medals (100m and 200m) at Asian Games 2018 in Indonesia, India’s sprint queen Dutee Chand returned home to a rousing welcome in New Delhi. Hailing from a small village called Chaka Gopalpur (Jajpur district) in Odisha, this 22-year-old has strung together some splendid performances since 2012 and owes her success to her family. MyNation was privileged to have caught up with her for an interview where she talked about her athletics journey and Asiad success.

Saina Nehwal, who has Olympics, World Championships, Commonwealth medals, has now clinched her maiden Asiad medal. She is at least assured of bronze
