One afternoon inside the Athletes’ Village, the physiotherapist found himself locked out of the sports science office – keys in hand, door refusing to budge. That’s when Sheetal Devi walked in. Without hesitation, she took the keys, missed once, then again, and finally, with disarming calm, turned the lock open – using her toes. Jawadekar still marvels at the moment. “The more you think she can’t do something,” he says, “the more she’ll prove you wrong.” Born without arms, there’s little Sheetal can’t do. She eats and writes with her toes, once climbed trees with ease, and now shoots arrows with them.
