For Harshita Sehrawat, hammer throw is more than a sport – it’s a journey of transformation, strength, and breaking boundaries. As an athlete, Harshita has learnt to manage the unique challenges of excelling in a sport that remains largely underrepresented in India. Her mission is simple yet ambitious: to inspire more Indian women to take up hammer throw and other lesser-known sports.
The hammer throw, with its complex mix of strength, speed, and precision, demands relentless discipline. Her current personal best stands at an impressive 62.20 meters, a testament to her hard work and dedication.
But Harshita’s journey isn’t just about distance; it’s about transformation. With the support of the Reliance Foundation, she’s taken strides in every aspect of her training and well-being. From personalised nutrition plans to expert physio support, Harshita credits the foundation for supporting her and the guidance she’s been receiving. “Sports isn’t just about being on the field; it’s about overall development,” she says.
Looking ahead, Harshita is preparing for the international stage. With upcoming competitions and a strong support system, she’s determined to make her mark globally.
Harshita’s determination is a reminder that with the right mix of support and self-belief, extraordinary dreams can become everyday realities.
