Former Asia No.1 Rupa Bayor Secures Spot in Games After 2023 Visa Denial

Rupa Bayor, the former Asia No.1 in her sport, faced a setback in 2023 when her visa application was denied, preventing her from participating in international competitions. The setback was a significant blow to her career, as she had been preparing for a major multi‑sport event. Recently, the authorities have cleared her eligibility, allowing her to secure a spot in the upcoming Games.
