    Nepal's Record Setting Paralympics Medalist Palesha Goverdhan Receives Heroic Welcome Back Home

    Nepali Paralympian medalist Palesha Goverdhan, 21, poses for a photo with her mother as she is welcomed upon her arrival from the Paris Paralympics 2024 to Kathmandu, Nepal, on September 4, 2024. On August 31, Goverdhan creates history by defeating Marija Micev of Serbia 15-8 in the bronze medal match of the women's K44 under 57 kg weight category taekwondo competition, becoming the first athlete from Nepal to win a Paralympic medal. Nepal has never won an official medal at the Summer Games in its 60-year Olympic history, not considering Bidhan Lama's bronze in the exhibition taekwondo event at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul and the gold presented to Tejbir Bura at the 1924 Winter Olympics in Chamonix, France, for his alpinism effort as part of the 1922 British Mount Everest expedition. Neither medal is officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee. Nepal makes its first Paralympics debut at the 2004 Summer Paralympics in Athens, sending Nirmala Gyawali in the women's shot-put event. Jit Bah
