Glasgow: Dipa Karmakar
became the first Indian woman and the second person from the country to clinch
a historic Commonwealth Games medal in artistic gymnastics when she won the
women's vault bronze at the SSE Hydro here on Thursday.
Agartala-born Dipa got
the bronze with an average score of 14.366. The 20-year-old had scored a mere
13.633 points in Vault 1, the lowest out of eight competitors in the final.
However, in a
remarkable comeback, Dipa scored the highest in Vault 2 with 15.100 to bring up
her average to 14.366.
