Shotput Superstar

1. Which town from Tamil Nadu do you hail from? When did you move to the US? When and how did you realise that sports is what you want to take up professionally?

I was born and brought up in Chennai, but my parents hail from Kerala. So, I am basically what we call “Malu Madrasi”. I moved to the US last year August 2021. Sports was already a part of my family. My parents were former basketball captains of our country, and I would have grown up watching sports, my mom and dad would take me to basketball tournaments. Ever since childhood, my mom put me into various sports such as tennis, badminton which would have helped grow my passion and love for sports. I took up track and field seriously in high school when I started winning medals for my school, bettered the Tamil Naidu state record in shotput. I got to learn the opportunities and doors that track, and field could open for professionals such as free higher education, high-intensity training, A-class facilities, and most importantly the exposure to compete within one of the best countries known for their track and field performances.

2. How did you get into Shotput and how did your life change after that?
