A Delhi-based sister’s support led her brother to qualify for the national roller‑skating squad.
Delhi’s roller‑skating community witnessed a heart‑warming story as a young athlete secured a place in the national squad after his sister’s dedicated encouragement and training support. The selection, conducted by the Roller Skating Federation of India in the capital, identified the brother among a pool of hopefuls based on performance metrics recorded during the recent trials.
The sibling duo has been training together for several years, with the sister, herself a former state‑level skater, guiding her brother through technical drills and fitness routines. Their combined effort paid off when the brother posted a personal best time in the 500‑meter sprint, meeting the federation’s qualifying standards.
Officials praised the achievement as a testament to family‑driven motivation in sports. The newly selected skater will now join the national camp ahead of upcoming Asian and Commonwealth competitions, where India aims to improve its standing in roller sports.
