MANISHA Bhanwala and Mansi Ahlawat train at the Sir Chhotu Ram Stadium in Rohtak, Haryana. Always proving to be quality sparring partners for each other, most of the time, they are up against each other to find a place in the national squad in the 62kg weight category. In March last year, Mansi won a close bout in the selection trials held to pick the national team for the Olympic Games Qualifiers (Asian and World). Unfortunately, Mansi couldn't qualify for the Paris Games. Early this month, Manisha returned the favour by beating Mansi in the trials held to select the team for the 2025 Asian Championships in Amman, Jordan.
