Indian figure skater Tara Prasad wins hearts on Four Continents Championships debut

Not many in India would have heard of figure skating but Tara Prasad is already making the country proud in that discipline.

3-time national figure skating champion Tara finished 20th in the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships 2022 in Estonia on Saturday. What made this achievement massive was the fact that it was a rare sight to see an Indian figure skater at such a high-profile international event. Moreover, Tara also choreographed her own sequence in what was her debut at the event.

Held annually since 1999, the Four Continents Championships is one of the biggest events for non-European figure skaters.

Though the 21-year-old failed to qualify for the Winter Olympics, something no Indian figure skater has managed to do so far, she won all hearts with her performance.
