Vadodara, Oct 21: Overcoming physical challenges, Vadodara kickboxer Dinkal Gorkha has won three medals at the Uzbekistan Kickboxing World Cup 2026 held in Tashkent from 13 to 18 October. Competing among more than 2500 players from 45 countries, Dinkal secured two silver medals in Point Fight (-60 kg) and Light Contact (-60 kg), and one bronze medal in Point Fight (-65 kg).
Dinkal's success is a saga of courage and determination. At just three years of age, she suffered a serious injury to her left leg in a bus accident. However, without letting this physical challenge shape her future, she continued her sporting journey by drawing inspiration from boxing legend MC Mary Kom. Her perseverance and dedication have helped her emerge as a rising international-level athlete.
Dinkal, a player of the Gujarat Kickboxing Association, trains under the guidance of coach Siddharth Bhalegahre. The coach's technical advice and guidance have supported her journey. Dinkal's achievement of three medals is an example of resilience and inspires young athletes to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.
