THE ATHLETE WHO JUMPED AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY. READ THE FULL STORY HERE 👇
I'm Praveen Ragupathy. I'm athlete in high jump and long jump. 3 times champion. Gold medallist in the Indian open international athletic championship 2018, Bronze medallist in FAZZA Athletic championship and grand prix 2018 – Dubai and represented India in Asian games 2018 held at Jakarta, Indonesia, and currently practicing for the Tokyo Olympics.
I hate being called a special athlete or a para athlete. My foray into sports happened because I wanted to be treated normally. I wanted to play like my friends did. I never wanted anybody’s empathy. I played because I saw that sports gave me the opportunity to prove myself to the society at large.
I am thankful to my family for supporting me through it all. I am thankful to Decathlon for having me. I have been in the company for 2.5 years and every day here has taught me something new.
I believe it is important that you listen to your heart. Whatever I am today, is because I took directions from my heart and never let anybody play their mind games on me.
