A post shared by Sheetal Devi (@sheetal_archery)
Born with phocomelia, a rare congenital condition that left her without arms, Sheetal has never allowed her disability to define her limits.
Instead, she has carved out an inspiring path in para-archery—one that has seen her rise to international prominence. Using her right foot, shoulder, and jaw to shoot, Sheetal has become a global inspiration by mastering an entirely new way of competing in a sport typically reliant on arm strength.
At just 18 years old, she made history by scoring a record-breaking 703 out of 720 at the Paris Paralympics, surpassing the previous benchmark of 698 and earning a bronze medal.
In doing so, she became only the second armless athlete ever to win a Paralympic medal.

Hailing from a small village in Jammu, Sheetal's journey from climbing trees as a child to standing on the Paralympic podium has been fuelled by her determination and resilience. Her latest act, driving a car with her feet, reinforces her message that no challenge is insurmountable.

'Disappointed with the decision': Justin Tucker's agent slams NFL suspension, says league ignored integrity and career legacy
Justin Tucker's agent criticizes the NFL ruling but signals acceptance (Image via AP0 Veteran kicker Justin Tucker, once considered one of the most reliable players in NFL history, has been handed a 10-game suspension following a lengthy investigation into allegations of misconduct involving massage therapists. The suspension, announced Thursday, marks a stunning turn in the career of the seven-time Pro Bowler, who currently remains a free agent. Justin Tucker's agent criticizes the NFL ruling but signals acceptance The allegations, first reported by the Baltimore Banner in January, stem from 16 different massage therapists who accused Justin Tucker of inappropriate behavior dating back to his rookie season in 2012. While no criminal charges were ever filed and Maryland's statute of limitations has since lapsed for civil suits, the NFL concluded that Tucker violated its personal conduct policy. He will now be sidelined without pay starting August 26 and cannot return until mid-November. Tucker's agent, Rob Roche, issued a firm yet conciliatory statement following the decision, expressing disappointment with the league's ruling but noting that the kicker will not contest the suspension. 'We are disappointed with the NFL's decision. Justin has always strived to carry himself in a way that would make his family and community proud,' Roche said via ESPN's Adam Schefter. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Girl gives seat to old man, passengers' faces turn pale when he gives it in return. Crowdy Fan Undo 'He stands by his previous statements. In order to put this difficult episode behind him and get back on the field as soon as possible, we have advised Justin to accept this resolution and close this matter.' Despite his decision not to appeal, Tucker has consistently denied the allegations. Roche reinforced his client's commitment to personal growth and family life, emphasizing: 'The people who know Justin best know his character and understand that while he remains fully committed to excellence as a football player, he is deeply dedicated to his most important lifetime roles as a father, husband and friend.' Tucker's on-field reputation was once impeccable—he owns the highest field goal accuracy rate in NFL history and has won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens. However, his career hit a sharp decline in 2024, when he converted just 73% of his kicks. Baltimore released him in May, and drafted Tyler Loop as his replacement. Also Read: Explained: How Justin Tucker's 10 games suspension was quietly negotiated behind the scenes without legal action Now, with a suspension looming and no teams showing interest, Tucker's once-certain Hall of Fame future is clouded by controversy, off-field scrutiny, and the reality of an aging kicker in a league that rarely forgives.
