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.
