Sheetal Devi, 17, from Jammu, is set to make history as the world’s first female archer to compete without arms at the Paralympics. Born with phocomelia, Devi uses her legs and jaw to operate the bow and arrow. Ranked first in the compound open women's category, she won gold at the Asian Para Games and silver at the Para-Archery World Championship. Devi's remarkable journey from a small village to international competitions, aided by customized equipment and dedicated training, exemplifies her determination. The Paralympics in Paris, starting on August 28, will see her compete against top global archers.
