the-movemnt: India’s first female Olympic gymnast Dipa Karmakar didn’t medal — but she won hearts anyway. Dipa Karmakar didn’t win any medals at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, but she did something far better: She inspired the world. On Sunday, people from across the globe saw the Indian gymnast place just shy 0.15 points from winning an Olympic bronze medal in the women’s vault gymnastic competition. Karmakar, India’s first female Olympic gymnast, was one of two female gymnasts at the Olympic Games to perform the Produnova vault, or “the vault of death” — a move Simone Biles won’t even do. follow @the-movemnt -- source link
