Sheetal Devi, Indian Para Archer, Defies Limits by Driving Car with Feet

Sheetal Devi, the celebrated Indian Paralympic archer, has once again inspired millions after a video of her driving a car using her feet went viral. The video showcases her extraordinary skill and determination.

Sheetal Devi expertly controls the car with her feet.

In the Instagram video, Devi is seen confidently maneuvering the vehicle. Her caption read, “Took on the driver’s seat for a while, loving every moment of it. Never say NEVER.” The post quickly gained traction, solidifying her image as a symbol of resilience and boundless potential.

Born with phocomelia, a rare condition resulting in the absence of arms, Sheetal Devi has consistently defied limitations. She has achieved international acclaim in para-archery, developing a unique technique to compete. Using her right foot, shoulder, and jaw to shoot, she has mastered a sport that traditionally relies on upper body strength.

At just 18, Sheetal made history at the Paris Paralympics, achieving a record-breaking score of 703 out of 720, surpassing the previous record of 698. This remarkable feat earned her a bronze medal and the distinction of being only the second armless athlete to ever win a Paralympic medal.

Sheetal's journey, from a small village in Jammu to the Paralympic podium, is a testament to her unwavering determination. Her recent display of driving a car with her feet further underscores her message: no obstacle is too great to overcome.
