Twice the world’s number one archer in a career spanning over a decade, Deepika has won everything except an Olympic medal.
Twenty days after becoming a mother, India’s famous archer Deepika Kumari left her newborn daughter with her in-laws and returned to the Sports Authority of India’s practice center with a 44-pound bow and arrow. Dipika is eyeing a return to the Indian team through the open senior national trials to be held from January 10 to 17. (Deepika Kumari Instagram)
She comes to practice with her husband and India’s number one archer Atanu Das. Atanu was also dropped from the Indian team after the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Both could not make it to the cut even in the trials held for the World Cup and Asian Games. (Deepika Kumari Instagram)
Deepika made a comeback in the third stage of the World Cup in Paris in June last year by winning a silver medal in the team event. After that she went on maternity leave. She said, ‘I practiced till the seventh month of pregnancy. After that some problem came, so I had to stop practicing, thankfully normal delivery happened, so that I could return in 20 days.

Deepika said in the conversation, ‘What to do, there is no other option. If I don’t appear in the trial, I will be out of the team for the whole year. It was not that easy and she cried for hours when she left the baby for the first time. She used to drink only my milk and started crying when she did not get it. We leave home at 7:30 in the morning and reach only in the evening. Now slowly he is getting used to it. I have to leave him alone to play the tournament. (Deepika Kumari Instagram)
