Key Sentence:
- 6 feet 1-inch height with a purely vegetarian diet, became Olympian after practicing in school stadium.
After women's hockey on the 11th day of the Tokyo Olympics, India now has a chance to make history in athletics. Kamalpreet Kaur will reach the final of the discus throw. If she wins the competition, she will become the first Indian woman to win a medal in athletics. Kamalpreet's performance in the qualification round has raised hopes for an award. He made history by throwing a disc 64 meters away.
Kamalpreet hails from Kabarwala, a small village in the Mutksar district of Punjab. He got guidance before the final by making a video call to his private coach. In an interview with Bhaskar, Rakhi said that Kamalpreet Kaur focused on lightweight training and speed work from 10 a.m. to about noon, according to Indian time.
Kamalpreet has thrown more than the bronze medalist of the Rio Olympics
Rakhi said that Kamalpreet Kaur is sure to win her best medal for India. Kamalpreet threw 66.50 meters during the interstate competition played in Patiala on June 21. If it can perform like this here, too, India will get one more medal.
Cuban thrower Dania Caballero, who won a bronze medal at the Rio Olympics, threw 65.34 meters. Melania Robert of France won the silver with 66.73m, and Sandra Perkovich of Curasia won the gold with 69.21m.
She was doing shotput at the school level
Rakhi said Kamalpreet was a shot-putter. Seeing the height and physical capacity at the school level, the local teacher persuaded him to take shotput training. He then came to Badal's SAI academy, saw other children, and started throwing the discus. Kamalpreet has also won medals at the district level in shot put.
The family was not happy with Kamalpreet's birth.
Kamalpreet was born on March 4, 1996 in Kabarwala, Mutkasar. Her father did not have much land, and the family members were not happy with Kamalpreet's birth as it was a middle-class family. Since Kamalpreet's height was good, the school inspired her to go into athletics. Her father said that we did not have enough money to pay for Kamalpreet's expenses. However, Kamalpreet used to go 100-100 km for training.
