 "READ: How Indian sporting fraternity reacted to Dipa Karmakar's historic Rio show")
New Delhi: Although Indian gymnast Dipa Karmakar missed out on an Olympic medal by a whisker, her stellar performance at the world`s biggest stage has left much of the sporting fraternity awestruck.
The 23-year-old, hailing from Tripura, missed out on an Olympic medal by 0.150 points despite successfully executing the dangerous Produnova vault (15.266) in her second attempt to secure a remarkable 15.066 points overall.
Dipa`s fourth-place finish in the individual vault final at the Rio Olympics is India`s best performance at an international event till date.
Finishing 4th in gymnastics... Comparable to Milkha Singh and PT Usha! So proud of you Dipa Karmakar!!
