After a 15-year wait filled with setbacks and injuries, 23-year-old shot putter Krishna Jaisankar is set to make her debut for India at the Asian Games 2026 in Japan. Missing out on selection multiple times, including a hamstring injury before the Commonwealth Games and missing the Paris Olympics, Krishna has persevered. She has refocused her approach, paying closer attention to nutrition and recovery. Now, as she prepares to represent her country, she aims to leave past disappointments behind and compete for a medal.
