Olympics one day.Initially her throw reached 7.56m only. Being an athlete in school, she
regularly practiced both in the mornings and in the evenings and was able to improve the
distance by 9cm every week.During the special camp for 15 days, she started with 40
throws and every day kept increasing the number of throws by 12 to achieve this
remarkable progress.
