Kashmir Women Boat Race: 150 Athletes Make History On Dal Lake

Mir further said that sports events have usually been dominated by men, whether cricket or other tournaments, and only a few opportunities have been given to women. New talent was discovered when these girls were encouraged to leave their homes and join this race. 35 girls are being selected for training, so they can be prepared for national and international competitions.

The Dal Lake women boat race showed that women can excel in sports that they weren’t usually part of before. This women boat race in Kashmir also inspired young girls who watched the race to think about trying water sports themselves.
