There are two weightlifting girls in Odisha with identical names _ Mina Santa. They are cousin sisters and belong to Umarkote Municipality of Nabarangpur district. Both are national medalists and both train at Odisha Weightlifting High Performance Centre, Kalinga Stadium, Bhubaneswar.
Because of identical names the duo often creates confusion, even in the State weightlifting circle. Nowadays, the sisters are recognized as Mina Santa-A and Mina Santa-B. The former is the senior one, born on 7 March 2007.
Daughter of Kasu Santa and Phulme Santa of Kurumunda village, Mina Santa-A also has the reputation of winning a gold medal on her international debut at the Commonwealth Weightlifting Championship last year in Delhi apart from six National medals.
