Dipa Karmakar regrets missing out on Commonwealth Games, targets medal at Asian Games

India's top gymnast Dipa Karmakar rued missing out on the upcoming Commonwealth Games due to injury but vowed to win a medal at the Asian Games later in the year. The 24-year-old Karmakar was forced out of the Gold Coast CWG (April 4-15) owing to a knee injury she picked up last year. She underwent an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) surgery in April last year. Karmakar, the first Indian female gymnast to compete in the Olympics where she finished a historic fourth in the women's vault at the 2016 Rio Games, said she has completed her rehabilitation and started training.
