From ICU Bed To CWG Podium: How Shubham Juyal Built His Life After Amputation To Win Silver Medal
Subedar Major RK Singh Rawat: Exactly four years ago, on August 1, 2022, Shubham Juyal was lying in an intensive care unit (ICU), grappling with the reality of an above-knee amputation. Hopeless, aimless, and watching his lifelong dream of becoming an Indian Army officer slip away just days before his interview, life seemed to have come to a devastating halt.
Fast forward four years to August 1, 2026, and Juyal is standing tall on the podium at the Commonwealth Games, holding a silver medal around his neck as he refuses to surrender his spirit.
"This is a big achievement because just four years ago, on August 1st, I was in the ICU. I had an above-knee amputation, and at that time I was completely hopeless and aimless," Juyal told IANS, reflecting on his incredible journey. "I never thought that after four years I would compete in the Commonwealth Games, let alone win a silver medal."
