Namita Nayyar:

According to Vishwanathan P, your first coach, statement to a 30-second test. “I don’t remember what the test was! But right then, I knew she had the talent,”. In 30 seconds, you secured a spot in the school’s fencing classes, among 40 other girls. Share the moment.

Bhavani Devi:


Even though I don’t remember that test , I think he had asked me to show some fencing moments and I did well. Also when I started fencing I was also playing squash. My first ever competition for both sports was on same day. I wasn’t sure which to choose at the beginning. But later I understood that I love fencing more and wanted to play this.

Namita Nayyar:

You are currently ranked 42nd in the world and 1st in the country in fencing. Congratulations on the same. Share the moment of glory & share the hard work that led to these achievements.

Bhavani Devi:

I am happy that I have taken right decisions in my life to reach this level and I am only thankful to my parent’s for all their sacrifices.
