Girl has become a real internet star

Indian archer Shital Devi has become a real heroine of the Paralympics 20224 in Paris. The 17-year-old won the bronze medal in the team mixed event, after which a video of her shooting style went viral on the Internet.

A clip of her battling Chile's Mariana Zúñiga in the 1/8 finals has racked up hundreds of thousands of views on social networks.

Unfortunately, Devi lost this bout 137:138, but gained a true world celebrity.

Devi was diagnosed from birth with a rare condition called phocomelia, which caused her to be born without arms. She is the first and only female international Paralympic archery champion without upper limbs.

2019, she attended a youth event in Kishtwar where she was spotted by the Indian Army's Rashtriya Rifles unit, resulting in the Army supporting her education and providing medical assistance.

Her coaches wanted to help her with prosthetics, but doctors said that was not possible in her case. Instead, Devi admitted that she likes to climb trees with the help of her legs.

After 11 months of training, Shital participated in the women's block archery event at the 2022 Asian Paralympic Games and won two gold medals for India.

Devi became the youngest female Paralympic archery competitor at the 2024 Summer Paralympic Games.
