Anantha Rao Athlete

Hello, I’m Anantha Rao from India. I was a national-level gymnast, starting at 9, and competed 15 times at the national level, winning 3 silver and 2 bronze medals at the South India level. In October 2010, during a state-level competition, I suffered a spinal cord injury while performing a somersault. I couldn’t move and felt like I was on my deathbed. JSS Hospital declared my spinal cord completely damaged, but later, HCG Hospital’s stem cell therapy helped me regain movement and shift to a wheelchair. Now, I play para table tennis for IOB and dream of winning an Olympic medal. I’m also happily married to Chandraprabha.
