With a demonstration of raw grit and sportspersonship, Kerala nun Sister Sabina, 55 years old, left the crowd at the State Masters’ Athletics meet amazed by taking gold in the hurdles, barefoot and in her habit. The incredible achievement on the track at Wayanad has gone viral, motivating citizens all over the country.
A onetime teen sports star, Sister Sabina demonstrated the same quickness that gained her national accolades during her school years. Back at competitive athletics for the State Masters meet, she navigated each hurdle with ease, demonstrating that age and wardrobe are no deterrents to hard work and enthusiasm. Viewers cheered wildly as she reached the finish line, making the competition a highlight of inspiration.
Watch here:
Sister Sabina, a native of Ennappara, Kasaragod, spent decades instructing physical education at Dwarka AUP School, Mananthavady, and maintaining her spiritual pursuits at Dwarka Provincial Houses Worship Centre. Selecting this meet as her last competitive race before retiring in March next year, she wanted to leave her mark on Kerala’s athletics.
Her sporting career started in school when she represented her class at national-level hurdles competitions and inter-university levels. Even though her teaching career was more important, Sister Sabina never lost her passion for sports. Her comeback to competition this year was a touching goodbye to the track and her gold medal triumph proved to be an expression of lifelong commitment.
Kerala Education Minister V Sivankutty praised her feat as a testament of “willpower and determination.” Posting her victory on social media, he pointed out that hard work can beat any age or situation. Sister Sabina’s success has now won over the hearts of students, teachers, and sports fans across the country.
