Father’s freshly made champion

Avni, who created history by winning the gold medal in shooting in Paralympics, had a lot of ups and downs in her life. In 2012, at the age of 10, Avni was the victim of a major car accident. He suffered a spinal cord injury in this car accident. After the treatment, Avni had to take the support of a wheel chair. In this difficult time, Avni’s father did not let her down and in the year 2015, he brought Avni to the shooting and archery range.

Avni tried her hand in both the sports but she liked shooting more. Abhinav Bindra, who won the Olympic gold medal, also played an important role in changing Avni’s life. In fact, Avni read Abhinav Bindra’s autobiography A Shot at History, after which her life changed and she decided to proceed with the shooting.
