New Delhi: Late in 2017, it seemed that she would never be able to take to the mat again. A nerve-related twinge on her right shoulder, that also affected the right arm, left young grappler Sonam Malik paralysed on her right side. Her world came crashing down. After all, she was fresh from winning gold at the World Cadet Championships in Athens, Greece.
Cut to present... Sonam, 19, has booked her berth for the upcoming Tokyo Olympics in the 62kg category and is gunning for glory at the showpiece event.
After suffering from the paralysis, Sonam was out of action for six months. “She couldn’t hold her arm up. She wasn’t able to grip anything with any strength. The diagnosis was that the nerves in her shoulder were simply not transmitting any impulses down to her arm. The doctor told her to forget about wrestling and think how she would live from there onwards,” Ajmer Malik, Sonam’s coach, told TOI.
