Karmakar country: Many Dipas of Tripura taking their own leap of faith.

As Dipa Karmakar attempts her Produnova in Rio today, The Indian Express travels to Tripura, India’s gymnastics capital, to trace how it all began with a SAI centre in Patiala.

This article is a must read. It traces the origins of gymnastics in Tripura and how hard work/perseverance of one coach created a foundation for gymnastics in this remote state. While the nation is looking for a medal in the Rio Olympics, let's not forget the dedication and work of people behind the scenes.

This is a wonderful story. In this rather wretched campaign, she has brought cheers to Indians watching around the world.
