The 8th World Dwarf Games is a global sporting event that brings together athletes with dwarfism from around the world to showcase their incredible skills and resilience. Sinimol’s participation in this prestigious event represents a significant milestone for India.
Speaking on Sinimol’s journey and dedication, Shri. George M George, Deputy Managing Director, Muthoot Finance said, “In recent times, sports has emerged as a vital element in a nation’s socioeconomic progress. As making a positive impact and giving back to society has been one of our core values at Muthoot Finance, we are immensely proud to support Smt. Sinimol as she represents India globally. We admire Sinimol’s determination and exceptional talent and believe in her ability to bring glory to our country’s name. We have witnessed that the primary hurdle doesn’t lie in the absence of talent or potential for India to produce exceptional athletes, but rather in the challenges posed by a scarcity of basic amenities for the talent and the disparity in opportunities within sports. With these grassroots level sports projects, we aim to foster national pride and unity by identifying and supporting the sports stars.”
Speaking on the occasion, Smt. Sinimol said, “Participating in this event is an honor for me. I am grateful for the opportunity to represent my country and showcase my passion for swimming at a global stage. I am determined to give my best and make India proud.
