The Arjuna award winner considers herself unfortunate as far as Olympics is concerned.

“In 2000 Sydney I qualified but pulled out due to an injury. In 2004 Athens I had fever so couldn’t win a medal. 2008 Beijing I failed to qualify for the women’s long jump event fouling in all my three attempts after my ankle injury resurfaced. And 2012 I couldn’t even make it to the London Games,” said George.
