Palesha Govardhan : created history for the nation

Palesha- Many many many congratulation for creating history for Nepal

Palesha Goverdhan made history in front of thousands of spectators at the Grand Palais on Friday, 30 August, becoming the first athlete from the mountainous Asian nation to win a medal at the Paralympic Games held in Paris.

She faced Serbia’s Marija Micev in the first bronze medal match of the women’s K44 -57kg weight class of Para taekwondo. While it took her only two minutes to find the form that advanced her through to the bronze medal match, she finally found her footing, scoring kick-after-kick in the final minute of the bout against Micev.

The scene was one of pure, unbridled jubilation when the hooter sounded to proclaim the end of the match. It was a historic moment for both Goverdhan and Nepal.
