Some moments in sports just leave you breathless, speechless, and awe-inspiring, even though you don’t believe that it’s already done in real-time. Sheetal Devi’s bullseye in Paralympic Archery is one of them. She’s a teenage girl from India, born without arms, and yet she just hit a perfect bullseye at the Paralympics 2024 using only her feet. Sounds unbelievable? It’s 100% genuine and completely inspiring for witnesses.
Let’s dive into her story and find out how she became a worldwide sensation.
Sheetal Devi is a 17-year-old para-archer from India. She’s become a global icon. Having a rare disability known as phocomelia (a disability that makes her not have arms), Sheetal had all the reasons to believe that archery was not her stepping block. She did not even give up because of that. She did not respond with the words, I can not, but came up with an alternative-she learned to shoot with her feet.
Yes, Her Feet.
She has worked years and years of exercises, discipline, and this helped her be supported by her coaches, but she managed to transform what would have been impossible into something magical. Now, she is the most inspiring athlete in the world as well as one of the best in Paralympic Archery.

In the Paralympic Archery 2024, athletes apply various methods, according to their abilities. Others even shoot with the help of their feet, as did Sheetal. Others do this with the mouth or by special tools. However, what they share in common is a hundred percent determination.
Under a field that had thousands of watchers, Sheetal appeared on the archery field in the Paralympics 2024 held in Paris. Calmly, she drew and aimed with her feet, and bam!–a bullseye.
