Bipaasha Paul, a young karateka from Kolkata, won two gold medals at a big national karate competition.
She won one medal for herself and another with her team.

She is now ranked number 1 in India and will compete in several international championships in the coming months.
She is very happy, and so is her family, especially her mom.
Bipaasha is not finished winning and has many medals already.
