Para-archer Sheetal Devi, the world compound champion born without arms, shattered another barrier on Thursday by being picked in the Indian able-bodied junior team for the upcoming Asia Cup Stage Three in Jeddah.

Her selection marks another historic first for Sheetal —  the inclusion of a para-athlete in an Indian team for an able-bodied international competition. “When I started competing, I had a dream  to one day compete alongside the able-bodied. I didn’t make it at first, but I kept going. Today, that dream is one step closer,” Sheetal wrote on social media after her inclusion.
