About Urska Anumanchi:

sports at a young age. She started training Alpine skiing at 6 years
and kayaking at 9 years of age and continued to do both till the age
of 14. At the age of 14, Urska opted for kayaking and participated

widened my horizons immensely during this period of time. Being a
sport woman and loving exercise taught me to be in tune with my body
through various activities like, swimming, running, squash, mountain
climbing etc. My spirit of sportsmanship helped me overcome
obstacles, made me strong, fit, happy and most importantly ready to
face whatever life served me" says Urska.
