TIL Desk Sports/Trailblazing Indian gymnast Dipa Karmakar today said that she’s not disappointed at missing out on a historic bronze in the vault final of the Rio Olympics here and that she’s satisfied of her performance.
“I never expected a medal from this Olympics but to have come fourth is very creditable. In boxing, wrestling you get a bronze even when you finish fourth but not for me. It was very close to medal. After four years, my target would be gold,” Dipa said brimming with confidence.
“For me this is my first Olympics. But I don’t need to be disappointed I will give my best in Tokyo 2020,” she said. “I’m fully satisfied with my performance. This is my highest score. But the medalists were better than me. Maybe, it was not my day,” a graceful Dipa added. She said with some luck she could have got a medal.
