Shattering another glass ceiling, Nethra Kumanan became the first Indian female sailor to qualify for Olympics. The 23-year-old will be competing at this year’s Tokyo Olympics 2021 event, which would kick off on July 23, in the laser radial class of sailing. The laser radial is a small boat, just big enough to carry one person, who has to navigate the boat.
She first made a mark with a bronze medal in the World Cup in 2020 after competing in the Asian Games in 2014 and 2018.

Chennai– Nethra Kumanan, who created history by becoming the first Indian woman sailor to secure an Olympics quota place in the Laser Radial event, said she wants to ‘do the absolute best’ at the quadrennial games and that ‘it was just the start’.
The Chennai-based Kumanan had clinched the Tokyo Games quota at the Mussanah Open Championship in Oman recently.
“It feels amazing to achieve Olympic qualification, which has been my dream for many years. It feels incredible that all my hard work has paid off and this is really just the start for me. This event has been extremely good for Indian sailing,” said Kumanan in a media interaction on Friday.
