 "Rio Olympics 2016: Sachin Tendulkar congratulates Dipa Karmakar, says India is proud of her")
New Delhi: Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar on Monday joined millions of Indians and celebrities from all walks of life to congratulate gymnast Dipa Karmakar, who missed bronze medal by a whisker at the ongoing Rio Olympics. Dipa came tantalisingly close to end up fourth with a difference of only 0.150 points with the bronze medallist in the women’s vault finals. Tendulkar, who was in Rio recently to encourage the Indian contingent, took to twitter to congratulate the young Tripura girl. “Winning and losing is a part of sport. You have won millions of hearts & entire nation is proud of your achievements,” Tendulkar tweeted.
