About this listen
In this powerful episode of the SportyArt Podcast, we are joined by the most decorated female athlete in Nepal, Ayasha Shakya. A double gold medalist at the 13th South Asian Games (SAG) and a mother of two, Ayasha is the ultimate symbol of resilience.
Hosted by Rakesh Kumar Rai, this conversation dives deep into the "Kick to Barriers"—the mental and physical walls Ayasha had to break down to return to the arena after motherhood. From switching disciplines (Kyorugi to Poomsae) to balancing family expectations with world-class competition, Ayasha shares the "bitter medicine" of criticism and how she used it as fuel for her fire.
About Ayasha Shakya: Ayasha Shakya is a 6th Dan Black Belt Taekwondo practitioner and a multi-time South Asian Games medalist. She made history by winning two gold medals at the 2019 SAG in Kathmandu, proving that marriage and motherhood are not the end of an athletic journey, but a new chapter of strength.
