Lockdown no problem for Paralympics-bound Palak Kohli

The Hindu  

Amidst the nationwide lockdown, Palak Kohli, the Paralympics-bound shuttler, has found a way to train by setting up a makeshift court at her residence in Lucknow. Because of daytime heat, I start at 6 a.m. with physical training and then play at the court till 8:30 a.m. and in the evening it’s also 6-8:30 p.m. training,” Palak told PTI. Paralympic bow awaits Palak is certain to make the cut for Tokyo Paralympics in women’s doubles as she is currently ranked fifth in the world. Khanna, her coach, said, “Given that Palak is ranked fifth in women’s doubles in the qualification events held in 2019-2020, she has attained required eligibility to qualify for Paralympics in SL3-SU5 women’s doubles.” SL3 category is meant for those who compete with a “standing/lower limb impairment/minor” while SU5 features para-athletes with “standing/upper limb impairment.” Palak is currently ranked 10th in women’s singles in SU5 category. Moreover, it’s a gated society, nobody comes in and goes out without permission.” Palak is supported by the Welspun Super Sport Women’s Programme and has also recently signed up with sports marketing company Meraki Sport and Entertainment.
