successes of some young Indians from very Poor backgrounds in Asian Games 2018
India is a country of many emerging talents and Indian is a country where lots of successes come from financially weak backgrounds. Asian games 2018 is one of the example of that type of talents. Here is the successes of some young Indians from very difficult backgrounds in Asian games 2018
1) Dutti Chand : She won the first 100 meter women’s silver in 32 years! (after PT Usha). From a poor weaver’s family in Odisha that earned Rs. 10 per day when she was young. Only on 2016, her parents actually traveled outside their state for the first time. Also in picture, is her elder sister Saraswathi who was the first runner allowed in that village, breaking the limitations for girls.
Seems like a great run for our runners in the #AsianGames2018. The phenomenally talented Dutee Chand wins a Silver in the Women’s 100 m event. Well done! @asiangames2018 pic.twitter.com/e1IbG4m8YK
