For Asian girls to get involved in sport is itself noteworthy, but for a girl to go on and be selected for an English international squad is, to say the least, unusual. Dippy Shahans is an 18-year-old from Southall, London, whose skill in karate has landed her a place in the national squad. Binda Rai visits her during a training session and talks to her about her success.
