Dipa finishes fourth at Apparatus WC

New Delhi: Gymnast Dipa Karmakar signed off with another creditable fourth place finish in women's vault final at the FIG Apparatus World Cup, a Paris Olympics qualifying event in Doha. Dipa, who had finished fourth at the Baku Apparatus World Cup in Azerbaijan last month, missed out on a medal by a whisker after coming up with a score of 13.333. Panama's Navas Karla (13.850) claimed the gold medal, while An Chang Ok of Korea (13.833) and Georgieva Valentina (13.466) won the silver and bronze respectively. Dipa had finished sixth in the qualifying round of the Paris Olympics qualifier. The other Indian in fray, Pranati Nayak had failed to qualify for the final after finishing 11th in the qualifying round. Dipa, who battled two knee operations in 2017 and 2019 due to ACL tears and a 21month suspension due to a doping violation, thus failed to qualify for the Paris Games in vault.
