Who is Sharmila Dhankar, India's first CWG para-athletics gold medallist?

Sharmila Dhankar, a woman who was impaired by polio at the age of two and survived the trauma of an abusive marriage, became India's first para-athlete to clinch a gold medal in the Commonwealth Games, winning the women's shot put F57 event here.
The 40-year-old produced her season's best throw of 9.81m to end India's 20-year wait for a para-athletics medal in the CWG.
Compatriot Shilpa Shyla, was awarded the bronze medal following an Indian protest amid controversial circumstances.

Shyla had produced a personal best effort of 7.26m.
Nigeria's Eucharia Iyiazi was initially placed at the bronze medal position but after a protest and official review, her only valid mark was adjudged a foul.
That led to Shyla being upgraded to bronze from the initial fourth place.

However, it is likely that a counter protest may also be launched by Nigeria.
A sobbing Shyla celebrated, along with Sharmila, after the dramatic upgradation to bronze, giving India two medals from the event.
