Players who suffer from coordination disorders such as hypertonia, ataxia and athetosis participate in T35. Preeti, a farmer’s daughter from Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at an early age. She initially trained in Meerut with high spirits and then moved to New Delhi to train on a synthetic track and this brought a huge change in her life.
