Indian wushu athlete Roshibina Devi Naorem made history by winning the silver medal in the women's 60 kg event at the Asian Games 2023. She had the opportunity to secure India's first-ever gold medal in the sport but lost 0-2 to China's Xiaowei Wu in the final. This marked the eighth time that India reached the Wushu finals at the Asian Games but failed to clinch the top spot.
Roshibina had a difficult time being recognised internationally. She was born in the Manipur area of Bishnupur and showed a natural talent for combat from an early age, frequently picking fights with boys in her neighbourhood. The foundation for her future career in Wushu was laid by her early experience with battle.
Despite the obstacles, Roshibina's talent and tenacity helped her succeed. She has participated in a number of renowned competitions as India's representative, winning praise for her outstanding play. She took home the gold medal in the 9th Asian Junior Wushu Championships in South Korea, which was a key turning point for her career.
Roshibina's commitment to her sport is unwavering. She has been quoted saying that she is willing to "give her life" for Wushu. Her grit and determination have made her a prominent figure in the world of wushu, inspiring many with her journey from a humble background to international fame.
Although Roshibina fell short of winning the gold medal at the Asian Games 2023, her silver medal achievement is a testament to her skill and dedication. She has brought pride to India and has set a strong example for aspiring women with her journey from a humble background to international fame.
