Divyakriti Singh from Jaipur has reclaimed the No. 1 ranking in Asia according to the Global dressage Rankings for 2024-25, as published by the Federation Equestrian Internationale (FEI). At just 25 years old, she has made significant strides in the equestrian world, having previously achieved the same ranking in 2023 and winning a gold medal at the 19th Asian Games in China. Her accomplishments have earned her the prestigious Arjuna Award, making her the first and only woman to receive this honor in equestrian sports.
Expressing her gratitude, Divyakriti stated her commitment to improving her performance and her aspiration to win an Olympic medal for India at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Currently based in the Netherlands, she is training for several upcoming competitions, including the Asian Championship in 2025, the Asian Games in 2026, and the World Games in Germany. Following her success at the Asian Games, she has consistently excelled in international dressage events, recently securing silver and bronze medals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Notably, equestrian sports are unique in the Olympics as they are gender-neutral, allowing both men and women to compete on equal footing. Divyakriti’s achievements not only highlight her individual talent but also contribute to the visibility and recognition of women in this sport.
