A promising 13-year-old speed skater’s journey to the national stage hit a roadblock just days before her departure for a prestigious skating event in Madhya Pradesh. Adhira Kanotra, gearing up for the School Games Federation of India (SGFI) event, suffered a serious elbow injury during practice at Maulana Azad Stadium, Jammu.
Adhira Kanotra, a 13-year-old speed skater quad, was preparing for the School Games Federation of India (SGFI) skating competition, which is set to take place in Satna, Madhya Pradesh, from April 11 to 15. During her practice, she skidded off from the cracks developed on the synthetic skating rink and broke her left elbow. She was immediately taken to hospital by her father for plaster.
The incident, attributed to the deteriorating condition of the synthetic skating rink at the stadium, has not only sidelined Adhira from the upcoming SGFI event in Satna but also forced her to miss the 5th Ranking Roller Skating Championship in Amritsar later this month.
