Priyanka Sharma

Priyanka has overcome all odds in her life to achieve success in her career. Priyanka was diagnosed with polio when she was only learning to walk after her birth. She was unable to walk or do anything on her own before undergoing several therapies and operations, and with the help of her family, she began to walk and started doing things on her own. Her husband introduced her to para sports in 2009, and after trying out a few other sports, she decided that table tennis was the best fit for her. She competed in her first national championship in 2010 and finished second. Her loving parents, mother-in-law, father-in-law, and husband have always been there for her. In 2017, Priyanka lost her father, who had always wanted to see her achieve her dreams in life. She also suffered from a kidney infection, which necessitated the removal of one of her kidneys. Despite these issues, she began training diligently after a few months. Priyanka was also picked for the World Championship but was unable to compete due to a lack of financial resources to cover her own competition expenses. She now has a definite goal in her mind to compete in an international tournament this year and do well for herself and her family.
