Abstract
:

There are benefits to being an athlete. You can learn about self-control, diligence, and cooperation from it. Additionally, it can support the improvement of your mental and physical health. Naturally, it may also be a lot of fun! Jyotirmoyee Sikdar, the recipient of the Padma Shri and Arjuna awards, is not only an Olympian and two-time gold medallist from the Asian Games, but she also paved the way for Indian middle-distance running by redefining its potential. Her achievements in the 800 and 1500 metres at the 1998 Asian Games sparked a generation of athletes, particularly women, to become passionate about the sport, and her subsequent entry into politics demonstrated her commitment to making a positive societal impact off the track. Sikdar's narrative is one of perseverance, motivation, and leaving a legacy that encourages sportsmen to pursue their goals both on and off the pitch. This study's primary goal is to talk about the athletic abilities of Olympian athlete Jyotirmoyee Sikder, winner of the Padma Shree Arjuna Award
