Para badminton athlete Palak Kohli is defying the odds to stage a remarkable comeback after a debilitating injury. Despite being left with a spinal cord injury in 2019, the 19-year-old Indian athlete is determined to overcome the challenge and return to her sport.

Kohli’s injury occurred during a training session when she landed awkwardly while attempting a shot. She suffered a spinal cord injury, which left her unable to move her legs. The incident could have ended her career, but she refused to give up on her dreams.

With a fierce determination and the support of her family, coaches, and medical team, Kohli has been working tirelessly to recover. She underwent surgery and rehabilitation, and with the help of a wheelchair, has slowly been regaining her strength and mobility.

Kohli’s positive attitude and fighting spirit have been instrumental in her recovery. She has been training hard and has set her sights on competing in the Paralympic Games. She is also actively promoting para sports and hopes to inspire others to pursue their dreams, no matter the obstacles they face.
