New Delhi: Returning to action after a lay-off of nearly two years due to an injury, India’s premier gymnast Dipa Karmakar created history Sunday to clinch the gold medal in the vault event of FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Challenge Cup at Mersin, Turkey. With this success she became the first Indian to win a gold medal in a global gymnastic event.

The 24-year-old from Tripura, who had finished fourth in vault event in the 2016 Rio Olympics, scored 14.150 to win the top prize. She had topped the qualification with a score of 13.400.     This is Dipa’s first medal in a World Challenge Cup.

In her first attempt, Dipa had a difficulty score of 5.400 while collecting 8.700 in execution for a total of 14.100. She improved the score in her second attempt to 14.200 (5.600+8.600), giving her a total average of 14.150.

Rifda Irfanaluthfi of Indonesia clinched the silver with 13.400 points while local woman Goksu Uctas Sanli took the bronze with a score of 13.200. Dipa, who is being accompanied by her coach Bisheshwar Nandi, has also qualified in balance beam finals by finishing third in the qualification with a score of 11.850.

Dipa had suffered an Anetrior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury after the Rio Olympics and had undergone a surgery. She was initially confident of making a comeback at the Commonwealth Games but rehabilitation took more time than expected and she missed the Gold Coast event.

Meanwhile, Rakesh Patra missed out on a medal in men’s rungs event finals as he finished fourth with a score of 13.650. Ibrahim Colak of the host country won the gold with a total score of 15.100.

Both Dipa and Rakesh have been included in the 10-member Indian gymnastics team for the upcoming Asian Games.
