Indian trendsetting gymnast\u00a0Dipa Karmakar<\/a>\u00a0will compete in the\u00a0vault final<\/a>\u00a0at\u00a0Rio Olympics 2016<\/a>\u00a0tonight<\/span><\/span>. Crores of Indians are looking at the event and are hopeful that she might get a medal for us.<\/p>\n

But the 23-year-old Tripura girl will face very tough competitions from the likes of American Simone Biles \u2014 women’s all-round champion at Rio \u2014 and Russian Maria Paseka \u2014 London 2012 bronze medallist, and Beijing 2008 gold medallist Hong Un-jong of North Korea.<\/p>\n

Simone Biles (USA): The 19-year-old American sensation made a mockery of the field when she produced a score of 16.050 from her two vaults (6.300D; 9.700E and 6.400D; 9.700E).<\/p>\n

She will enter the finals as the favourite, and rightly, she is the one to look out for.<\/p>\n

Hong Un-Jong (North Korea): She is first North Korean female gymnast to win a medal at the Olympics. At Beijing 2008, she outclassed German vault legend Oksana Chusovitina.<\/p>\n

During the Rio qualifiers, the 27-year-old Korean produced a brilliant scoring routine. She is more than capable of improving her score of 15.683.<\/p>\n

Giulia Steingruber (Switzerland): She is the dark-house among the eight finalist. After ruling the European circuits for more than two years, Steingruber is looking for that big Olympic medal.<\/p>\n

It has to be seen if Dipa can win a medal for us and keep the Indian flag flying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
