“Suddenly I’ve got fans, followers and people recognising me in the street – it’s wild!”🇳🇵 🥋
Palesha Goverdhan won Para Taekwondo bronze in the women’s K44 -57kg category at the iconic Grand Palais in Paris and became Nepal’s first Olympic or Paralympic medallist in history. We caught up with her post Paralympics.
“I believe my success has done more than just put me in the spotlight – it has shifted mindsets,” she said.
“It’s shown people, especially athletes, that anything is possible if you’re willing to work hard and give it your all. What’s even more exciting is that we’re now seeing new athletes training in Para taekwondo alongside us.
“It feels amazing to know I’ve inspired others to dream big and chase those dreams.”
