What Dipa Karmakar Did When She Saw Her Sister Among Cheering Crowds

Dipa Karmakar has a point to make. Stand by your girls, and see what they can do for you, she told a crowd of nearly 5,000 packed into a stadium in her hometown of Agartala to welcome the young gymnast home from the Rio Olympics.

On the 12-kilometre route that she covered in an open jeep from the airport to the ceremony where she was honoured, Ms Karmakar spotted her older sister and jumped out of the jeep with the ease of, well, a world-class gymnast, to embrace her.
