Shweta Rathore is blazing trail and the first Indian to score a hat-trick by bagging awards in the various body building categories. She had earlier won a silver medal in sports physique category at the “Asian Body Building & Physique Championship – 2015” and also at the “National Body Building and Physique Sports Championship” respectively. She is the first Indian sports woman to have been crowned with ‘Miss Mumbai’, ‘Miss Maharashtra’ and ‘Miss India’ titles and bag the gold medal too. This is the third time in a row of having achieved the same feat and becoming a star celebrity.
The cherry topping on the cream is that she is the first Indian female representative who has been invited to participate in the “World Body Building & Physique Championship” to be held in Hungary in October. This achievement comes close on the heels where she is all geared up to participate in the ‘Asian Championship’ to be held in August in Bhutan and thereafter ‘World Championship’ in December this year too in sports and fitness physique categories.
Shweta Rathore is elated about it and says,”This is a proud moment for me and my country.I am vigorously taking all types of training to win the title at the championship. But I am sorry to add that our government is not paying any attention to provide us major support. All government departments be it health or sports ministry is only after the film stars for appointing them a brand ambassadors. At least these ministries should promote people like us and appoint them as the brand ambassador instead. This will be an additional feature for the winning sports person who bags award and makes the country proud. Even the awards and rewards go to the glamour industry or again Film stars only. Every sport should be highlighted and promoted in its deserved perspective. Body building is a costly sports affair. Without our government’s help and support, we alone cannot be well prepared and achieve better results for our country.”
