“What I am Asking is Fairness tothe Athlete.” - Varsha Gautham
Varsha Gautham is the youngest Indian to win an Asian Games medal, at the age of 16, in 2014.A bitter court battle almost forced Varsha Gautham to quit the Asiad this year, but perseverance helped her to tide over the crisis and
clinch a silver medal in sailing at the Asian Games.It was a tough time for her. On numerous occasions the thought occurred to her as to whether she would make it. She always had the belief that she could win a medal, but the hardest part was to actually get to be a part of the Indian squad to the Asiad.Trials and tribulations of an athlete is little known to us. 
Varsha is in conversation with Gita Chandrasekaran, sharing her experiences with IWA.
