KOLKATA: In a sport usually considered as a hunting ground for a much younger lot, gymnast Pranati Nayak seems to be an instance of rarity. At 27, the 1995-born girl from Jhargram is one of the senior-most competitors in the Indian gymnastics fraternity. But ask her about the age factor, her answer is instant and introspective.
"I think as I grow older, I get more mature, and my performance has also improved. Age is just a number for me. As long as you don't feel defeated, nobody can beat you," she told TOI over telephone from her training base in New Delhi.
