Send us a text In this inspiring episode of Harka's Podcast, we are joined by two remarkable former national athletes from Nepal - Nita Shah, a volleyball player, and Chandrakala Thapa, a track and field athlete who proudly represented Nepal in the Olympics, Asian Games, SAFF Games, and World Championships. After dedicating 17 to 18 years of their lives serving in the Nepal Police Club and playing for the country, both of them made a difficult decision to move to Dubai in search of financial stability and a better future. Despite their long careers and achievements in sports, their families back home still face financial hardship. In this heartfelt conversation, they openly share their personal journeys, the struggles they faced as female athletes, and the challenges within the Nepali sports system. They speak honestly about the lack of long-term support from sports officials and the reasons that led them to seek a new life abroad. This episode is a deep reflection on the sacrifices made by national players and the reality many face once their sporting careers end. Tune in to hear their untold stories and their hopes for change in the Nepali sports community. Support the show
