This is fantastic news. We need to celebrate and support these non-cricket sports more. Climbing requires immense physical and mental strength. Kudos to Amieyra and her coaches!
As someone who tries bouldering at my local gym, I know how tough it is. For a 14-year-old to perform with such composure at a national level is truly inspiring. Wishing her all the best for international competitions!
Great to see adventure sports getting their due recognition. The partnership between IMF and GETHNAA seems to be yielding results. Hope she gets the right sponsorship and training to aim for the Olympics.
While this is a wonderful achievement, I hope the media gives consistent coverage to such sports and not just during a win. These athletes need sustained support and visibility to build careers.
Bahut badhiya! 🎉 At just 14, she's a national champion. This makes me want to enroll my daughter in a climbing class. It's so important for girls to see strong role models in every field.
