Bhubaneswar: Like many students of her age, Odisha girl Anahita Mishra is passionate about sport. But unlike most 12-year-olds, Anahita has chosen an uncommon game – roller skating.
It was at the age of 3 that she got attracted to skating and started wearing roller shoes (shoes with wheels). Seeing her seriousness, her parents — Soumyanwesh Mishra and Sunanda Sanganeria from Cuttack – got a coach for Anahita when she turned 7.
There’s been no looking back since then, and it’s been a steady upward roll on skates for Anahita.
Having already participated in national and international championships, Anahita is all set to compete in the 19th Asian Roller Skating Championships at Qinhuangdao City in China’s Hebei Province.
