Photos: Para athlete's dadi on athletics gold hunt

There was no looking back for the nonagenarian after stepping on the stadium turf.

Dagar began her training only around six months ago under the guidance of her grandson, 38-year-old Vikas, a para athlete.

Dagar won three gold medals in the Delhi state masters championships on April 1-2.

She had come a long way from her indulgence in kabaddi as a child in her paternal village of Khedka in Haryana.

The nonagenarian won three more medals in the national masters championships on April 26-May 2.

Unlike other athletics who spend hours daily in rigorous training, the elder star practises for an hour 2-3 days a week.

Dagar, of course, makes it a point to remain fit and healthy.

The high-spirited woman wants to win gold in the World Masters Athletics Indoor Championship to be held in Poland in March next year.
