Indian heptathlete Swapna Barman prepares to wear her track shoes before a practice session at Salt Lake stadium in Kolkata August 29, 2014. Pursuing a largely unrewarding Olympic sport in a cricket-obsessed country requires adjustments but Barman has taken it to a new level - squeezing six toes in each shoe designed for five. Born with six toes in each foot, the 18-year-old from a poor family in Jalpaiguri in the east Indian state of West Bengal has been forced to run, jump and throw wearing shoes that have affected more than aiding her performance.
