In order to achieve her goal of winning the silver medal at the Paralympics held in Paris in 2024, Thulasimathi Murgesan had to triumph over a great deal of misfortune throughout her life. She spoke with Firstpost about her aspirations for the year 2025, her early days playing badminton, the role that her father played, and other issues.
Despite being bullied due to her disability and skin tone, Thulasimathi Murugesan was able to achieve the Arjuna Award and make history at the Paralympics.
Thulasimathi Murugesan, who won a silver medal at the Paris Paralympics, has stated that she aims to turn her focus to her education in the year 2025; nevertheless, she still intends to compete in important contests.
Reuters reports that Thulasimathi Murugesan, who won a silver medal at the Paris Paralympics, has had a difficult life up until this point. Through unwavering determination, the para-shuttler has been able to triumph over a multitude of challenges in both her personal and professional life. On the other hand, what sets her apart from everything else is the fact that she has a positive attitude on life.
Because of the malformation that was present in Thulasimathi’s left hand from birth, her range of motion was severely limited. She started playing sports when she was five years old, and by the time she was seven years old, she had been exposed to badminton. Despite this, she began participating in sports. Her trajectory has only become better since then, despite the challenges that she has faced in the past.
Despite the fact that she did not come away with a gold medal at the Paralympics, Thulasimathi, who hails from Kancheepuram in the state of Tamil Nadu, is overjoyed with the achievements she achieved in Paris. Consequently, she is ready to focus her concentration back to her studies as a result of this.
