Dipa Karmakar is an artistic gymnast who represented India at the 2016 Summer Olympics. Dipa is the first Indian female gymnast ever to compete in the Olympics and the first Indian gymnast to do so in 52 years.  Since independence, 11 Indian male gymnasts have taken part in the Olympics (two in 1952, three in 1956 and six in 1964), but this was the first for an Indian woman at the Olympics. Dipa Karmakar may have missed the bronze medal by a marginal difference and finished fourth in the women's vault finals in the Rio Games but still created history by producing the best-ever performance by an Indian gymnast. Her risky attempt of the 'Produnova' vault, which is regarded as the most difficult vault in Women’s gymnastics, has now made her known to the world. Dipa, has even won a bronze in the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
