Sayali Dhuri

Born and raised in Mumbai, Sayali Dhuri started learning Rope Mallakhamb at an age of 7. Since then, Sayali continued performing for straight 12 years winning 6 National Level Gold Medals in India. Competing all over India throughout her sporting career, Sayali even demonstrated Rope Mallakhamb internationally upon receiving an invitation from the Mauritian Government. A severe leg injury lessened her chances of competing again but didn’t break her spirit as she went on to secure Shree Shiv Chhatrapati State Award.   A member of the Mallakhamb Federation USA, Sayali is part of the judges team for the 2nd World Mallakhamb Championship 2022 in New York.  Outside of Mallakhamb, Sayali works as a Physical Therapist during weekdays and spends weekends engaging in activities like hiking and camping.
