Just go for very short training abroad: Nadia Comaneci advice for Dipa Karmakar

Hindustan Times  

Gymnastics legend Nadia Comaneci suggests that Dipa Karmakar does not need to change anything or move overseas to be able to challenge for a medal at the Tokyo Olympics but train for a week or two abroad just for a change in environment. “Yes, over the years USA, Russia, and Romania have dominated the sport but it is fascinating to see a talented gymnast like Dipa emerge from India. Her success will ensure that it is no longer considered a bridge too far for an Indian to shine at the world stage in the extremely competitive sport of gymnastics,” she writes in the foreword of a book “Dipa Karmakar: The Small Wonder”. It is this which will see you negotiate the hurdles that you face over your career.” The book, co-written by Dipa’s coach Bishweshwar Nandi, Vimal Mohan and Digvijay Singh Deo, has many untold stories of struggle and triumph besides rare archival photos from the Karmakars’ private album as well as competition photos.
