PARIS: India's youngest athlete in the Olympic contingent here, Dhinidhi Desinghu is thoroughly enjoying her days at the Games Village and has emerged as the darling of the nation's top stars who have assembled here. Despite her early exit, the 14-year-old is hopeful of moving forward having experienced the world's biggest stage.
Dhinidhi, who holds the national record in women's 200m free, said she benefitted despite getting overawed. "The pool was very big and it was a bit daunting with all the visitors. It was in a rugby stadium and the venue was huge with all the visitors pouring in and lot of famous athletes walking around whom I look upto on television. It was an amazing experience to watch the world beaters from close. I loved the vibe of Europe."
