Claim: Gomathi from TN won gold for India in Asian games wearing two different torn shoes because she can't buy one and the government is not helping her.
Fact-check: In the Asian Athletics Championships Final, Gomathi wore the torn shoes because they were her lucky shoes. - FACTLY
Verdict: she won the gold medal in the asian athletics championships, not in the asian games. she has herself clarified that she wore the torn shoes in the finals because they were her lucky shoes, not because she can't buy new ones. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
