There's no pressure: Dipa on participation in 2 WCs

Tuesday, 12 March 2019 | IANS | New Delhi

Ace gymnast Dipa Karmakar is set to represent India in the upcoming World Cups at Baku, Azerbaijan and Doha, Qatar. She says for her, every competition is very tough but she doesn't feel pressurised.

Ahead of the competitions that will start from March 14, Karmakar said: "Training has been going well. I was training in Agartala all this while. I will try my best to do well there."

For her, all the championships are the same.

"We are always on the field. Whether it is Olympics or any world championship, all are the same. For us, every competition is very tough," said the young sports star.

But she maintains that there is no pressure.

"The performance of players either goes up or down. It has always been like that. For instance, I didn't do well at the Asian Games... whatever was the reason," she said referring to her disappointing fifth spot in the women's balance beam final at the 18th Asian Games last year.

"But I have no pressure. I have to do my best, I need to feel satisfied myself first," added Karmakar, who bagged the Gold in the women's vault event at the Artistic Gymnastics World Challenge Cup in Mersin in Turkey in 2018.

Like her competitors from Russia and the US, her aim is to get good scores that can lift her to a podium finish.
