Pramila Gudanda Aiyappa (née Ganapathy) (born May 8, 1977 in Kodagu, Karnataka[1]) is an Indian heptathlete.[2] Pramila made her official debut for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where she placed twenty-fourth in the women's heptathlon event, with a total score of 5,548 points.
At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Pramila made a comeback from her eight-year absence to compete for the second time in women's heptathlon, along with her fellow athletes Shobha Javur and Susmita Singha Roy. She initially placed twenty-eighth out of forty-three heptathletes in the event, with a total score of 5,771 points, but was elevated to a single higher position, when Ukraine's Lyudmila Blonska stripped of her silver medal after she tested positive for methyltestosterone.[3][4]
Pramila represented the host nation India at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, where she nearly missed out of medal contention in the heptathlon, finishing only in fifth place, with a total score of 5,330 points.[5]
