Tokyo in sight, Indian women boxers to resume training at Army Institute of Sports, Pune
Eyeing Tokyo Olympics, Indian women boxers including Olympic medalist MC Mary Kom (51kg) and two other Olympic-bound boxers Simranjit Kaur (60kg) and Lovlina Borgohain (69kg) have been named in the elite women national camp which is set resume at the Army Sports Institute in Pune. The camp will go on till July 31.
With a surge in the Covid-19 cases, the decision was taken to shift the camp to Pune.
The 2019 World Championship bronze medallist Jamuna Boro (54kg) is also making a return to the national camp after a long break due to an injury as she is included among the 10 boxers selected to take part in the national camp. While another Olympic qualified boxer Pooja Rani (75kg), who has been training at IIS Bellary since the lockdown, will continue to train at the same venue for now.
Rajasthan boxer Arundhati Choudhary (69kg), who had been impressive during her gold medal triumph at the recent AIBA Youth World Championship in Poland, also selected in the camp alongside Manju Rani (48kg), Sonia Lather (57kg), Lalbuatsaihi (64kg) and Shashi Chopra (64kg). Another highlight of the camp is Jasmine (57kg) who was sensational during her maiden senior international outing at the Boxam Tournament in Spain earlier in March where she bagged a silver medal.
The pugilists will be accompanied by a 10-member team of coaches and support staff which includes Head Coach Md Ali Qamar and Foreign Coach Raffaele Bergamasco.
