The Pioneer in a rendezvous with Komaldeep asked about the mantra of her success at such a young age.

It’s just been a year that I have begun participating in tournaments so I believe that my best performance is yet to come.” She added saying, “Of course, participation is important in any tournament, but after so many efforts, winning becomes equally important.”
Komaldeep of grade 10th St Josephs Co-ed School is one of the best female skaters of the city.She has recently bagged a bronze medal at 52nd National Roller Skating Competition held at Virar, Maharashtra.

“Skating is my dream and I feel really honoured when I am regarded as the first female who represented Madhya Pradesh after 15 years. But, nevertheless competition is tough everywhere I went,” she said.As she shared her future plans, she said, “My dream is to become a professional skater. But, the sad part is that there is not much scope especially in skating so on second thoughts I have decided to be an architect.” She gives the credit of her success to her parents and coach Sanjay Mishra.
