Young Vizag Skater Greeshma Shines Bright at Asian Roller-Skating Championship
In a heartwarming triumph, 15-year-old Dontara Greeshma from Visakhapatnam, India, has clinched a gold medal at the 19th edition of the Asian Roller-Skating Championship held in Beidaihe, China. Competing in the youth category of artistic in-line skating, Greeshma's exceptional skills secured her the top spot in this prestigious competition, which took place from October 18 to 28. In addition to her gold medal, she also proudly won a silver medal in the freestyle youth women’s category.
Greeshma's success is a testament to her unwavering dedication and the relentless hours of training she puts in. She expressed her joy at the results, emphasizing that her hard work, especially since the last national competition in December 2022, had paid off. Greeshma's coaches, Satyanarayana and Chitti Babu, played an instrumental role in her journey. They not only taught her new techniques but also helped her address her weaknesses, enabling her to compete at an international level.
Despite her demanding training schedule, Greeshma is currently studying in Class X at Visakha Valley School. On regular days, she dedicates at least three hours to her daily training, but this commitment significantly increases when she's preparing for competitions.
Reflecting on her journey, Greeshma's mother, Sharmila, fondly recalled how her daughter's early introduction to skating was merely an attempt to tire her out so she would sleep better. Little did they know that this small step would lead to a remarkable career in national and international competitions.
Greeshma manages to strike a balance between her studies and her passion for skating, diligently resuming her schoolwork upon returning from a competition. With her sights set on the future, she aims to secure gold medals in the upcoming Asian Games and World Championships.
Dontara Greeshma's incredible achievements at such a young age serve as an inspiration and a reminder of the power of determination and dedication in reaching for one's dreams.
