&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life and career==&lt;br /&gt;
Hailing from [[Agartala]] in [[Tripura]], Karmakar started her school life and education in Abhoynagar Nazrul Smriti Vidyalaya; she started practicing gymnastics when she was only 6 years old and has been coached by Soma Nandi &amp;amp; [[Bishweshwar Nandi]] since.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Agartala takes pride in Dipa&amp;#039;s achievement|url=http://www.thehindu.com/sport/other-sports/rio-olympics-2016-agartala-takes-pride-in-dipa-karmakars-achievement/article8989563.ece|work=The Hindu|access-date=15 August 2016|date=15 August 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=From being flat-footed to 77 career medals: 10 interesting facts about Dipa Karmakar|url=http://www.firstpost.com/sports/flat-footed-77-career-medals-10-engaging-facts-dipa-karmakar-2735538.html|publisher=Firstpost|access-date=15 August 2016|date=19 April 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she began gymnastics, Karmakar had flat feet, an undesirable physical trait in a gymnast because it affects their performance.  Through extensive training, she was able to develop an arch in her foot.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Meet Dipa Karmakar: From a flat-footed 6-year-old to India&amp;#039;s star woman gymnast|url=http://www.firstpost.com/sports/interview-bronze-hiroshima-gymnast-dipa-karmakar-sets-sights-worlds-2382964.html|access-date=15 August 2016|date=18 April 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2008, she won the Junior Nationals in [[Jalpaiguri]]. Since 2007, Karmakar has won 77 medals, including 67 gold, in state, national and international championships.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Tripura&amp;#039;s Dipa Karmakar says she is aiming for an Olympic Medal|url=http://m.bdnews24.com/en/detail/neighbour_en/1051403|publisher=BDNews24|access-date=13 April 2016|date=6 November 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; She was part of the Indian gymnastics contingent at the [[2010 Commonwealth Games]] in [[Delhi,India,Asia]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In July, at the [[2014 Commonwealth Games]], Karmakar won a bronze medal in the women&amp;#039;s vault final, thanks largely to her Produnova vault, which has a difficulty value of 7.00.

Karmakar nursed an injury throughout the latter half of 2017; she had injured her knee while practicing for the trials of the [[2017 Asian Artistic Gymnastics Championships]]. She underwent a corrective surgery for her [[anterior cruciate ligament]] in April the same year and was unable to participate in any events for the remainder of the competitive season. She also withdrew from the selection trials for the Indian team for the [[2018 Commonwealth Games]], citing her lack of preparedness. Her coach said that although she was healthy again, the lengthy rehabilitation process had restricted her training.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Dipa Karmakar not ready for CWG: Coach|url=https://www.aninews.in/news/sports/others/dipa-karmakar-not-ready-for-cwg-coach201802141033400001/?amp=1|publisher=[[Asian News International]]|access-date=14 February 2018|date=14 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180215023623/https://www.aninews.in/news/sports/others/dipa-karmakar-not-ready-for-cwg-coach201802141033400001/?amp=1|archive-date=15 February 2018|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Dipa Karmakar ruled out of Commonwealth Games|url=https://m.timesofindia.com/sports/commonwealth-games-2018/dipa-karmakar-ruled-out-of-commonwealth-games/amp_articleshow/62901943.cms|website=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=14 February 2018|date=13 February 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
