		+
		+	Kolkata : Dipa Karmakar has always loved making history. From being the first Indian gymnast to take part in Olympics in Rio in 2016 to becoming the country’s first woman to win a medal in the sport in Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, 2014, she has always been an inspiration. She was also the first to win gold in FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Challenge Cup in 2018 in Mersin, Turkey.
		+
		+	And on Sunday she created history one more time as she won gold in Vault at Senior Women Artistic Gymnastics Asian Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Although Indian gymnasts, including Dipa, won bronze in the Asian meet four times earlier, it was the first time that an Indian finished on top of the podium. The girl from Tripura was expectedly over the moon after accomplishing the feat. “I have no words to express my feelings at the moment,” she said after her historic feat.
		+
		+	After finishing 16th in the allround category in Tashkent with a score of 46.166 earlier on Friday, Dipa came back with a bang on Sunday to win the gold in Vault with an average score of 13.566. Silver and bronze went to North Korea’s Kim Son-Hyang (13.466) and Jo Kyong-Byol (12.966).
		+
		+	“I went through a lot of troubles, injuries and surgeries before I could make a comeback. It was a lot of hard work and I couldn’t have done all this without the support of my coach and family who have always supported me and stood by my side through thick and thin,” she said during a brief interaction with TOI trying to keep her emotions in check. Her first vault on Sunday was a Tsukahara 720 degree turn from a straight body and she followed it up with a straight body front somersault 360 turn.
		+
		+	Asked about her performance on the day, Dipa said, “I could have executed it a bit better but there were some penalties and the points were deducted.”
		+
		+	Irrespective of the penalties, Dipa still finished strong and coach Bishweshwar Nandi couldn’t have been more proud of his pupil. “What she had to go through was highly challenging but I never gave up and neither did she,” added the Dronacharya Award-winning coach.
		+
		+	Sadly for Dipa though, she couldn’t qualify for Paris Olympics and she is still hurting from it. In the Olympic Qualification Apparatus World Cup Ranking List in Vault, she finished fourth with a total of 52 points from where only the top two gymnasts qualified.

	Nandi sir explained to me that we have qualified in eighth place, so if we do well in the finals we will finish sixth or seventh, and if we fare badly we'll still be eighth, won't go below that. I was scared how my coach would react if I had a bad jump. But when he told me all that, I competed freely and did well on that day to finish fourth.

		+
		+	Dipa Karmakar's pathbreaking performance in the Rio Olympics was lauded by many, including former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, who was picked to present her, along with PV Sindhu and Sakshi Malik, a BMW car in September. However, owing to maintenance issues, Dipa has decided to return her gift to the original owner V Chamundeswaranath, president of the Hyderabad Badminton Association.
		+
		+	The prime reason behind it seems to be the difficulty Dipa and her family is having maintaining such a posh car in a city like Agartala, where the roads are narrow and not well-maintained. Moreover, since Dipa's next assignment, the Challengers' Cup in Germany is a month away; Dipa has been advised not to bear the maintenance cost and rather devote her time towards practicing.
		+
		+	Dipa was not available for the comment, but her coach Bisheswar Nandi shed some light on the topic. "It wasn't Dipa's decision. Rather it was a collective decision taken by her family and me," Nandi told TOI Sports. "There are two main reasons behind it. First, there is no BMW service center in Agartala and secondly, the roads are not suitable to drive a posh car such as this."
		+
		+	Nandi furthermore revealed that they have spoken to the Hyderabad Badminton Association about their concerns and that the body has accepted their request. "We have spoken to the concerned authority and gladly, they have no problems with it. It was also suggested to them that if possible, they transfer the amount equivalent to the value of the car to Dipa's bank account.
