    India’s trailblazing gymnast, Dipa Karmakar, has announced her retirement from professional gymnastics at the age of 31. In an emotional post shared on her Instagram, Dipa reflected on her incredible journey, filled with highs and challenges. Known for being the first Indian woman gymnast to compete in the Olympics, she made history in 2016 by finishing fourth in the vault event at the Rio Olympics, narrowly missing out on a medal by just 0.15 points.

    A Childhood of Dreams and Determination

    Dipa’s gymnastics career was never easy. Recalling her early days, she shared that as a child, she was told she would never become a gymnast due to her flat feet. But defying expectations, Dipa not only pursued gymnastics but went on to perform the highly dangerous Produnova vault at the Rio Olympics, a move that earned her global recognition. Her journey from a young girl with dreams to a global star is a testament to her determination and hard work.

    The Decision to Retire

    In her retirement message, Dipa admitted that deciding to step away from the sport was not an easy choice. “After much thought, I’ve decided to retire from professional gymnastics,” she wrote. Dipa spoke about how gymnastics has been an integral part of her life for as long as she can remember and expressed gratitude for the experiences it brought her.

    Memorable Moments and Final Victory

    The Rio Olympics was undoubtedly one of the most unforgettable moments in Dipa’s career, but she also reflected on her last major win at the Asian Gymnastics Championships in Tashkent. That victory, she said, was a turning point where she realized her body was signaling it was time to rest, even though her heart wasn’t ready to stop.

    A Heartfelt Thanks to Her Supporters

    Dipa also took time to thank those who supported her throughout her journey. She expressed deep gratitude to her coaches, Bishweshwar Nandi and Soma Nandi, for their 25 years of guidance. She extended her thanks to the Gymnastics Federation of India, the Tripura government, Sports Authority of India, GoSports Foundation, and her family for standing by her through all the ups and downs.

    A New Chapter Ahead

    While Dipa may be stepping away from professional gymnastics, she emphasized that her connection to the sport is far from over. She expressed a desire to give back to the sport in new ways, whether through mentoring, coaching, or supporting other young girls in gymnastics. This marks the beginning of a new chapter in Dipa’s incredible journey.
