Jaismine, Arundhati eye Paris 2024 berths
Hindustan Times
|January 01, 2024
Mental scars take time to heal. The pounding that Jaismine Lamboria and Arundhati Choudhary received from their opponents at the Asian Games was still fresh in their minds. But it made the two young boxers work on their mindset and come out stronger in the ring.
While the Asian Games were a missed opportunity for both having failed to seal a quota place for the Olympics - they would need to find a way to put it behind them if they harboured dreams of qualifying for Paris.
And, last week, they showed India a glimpse of what that future may be like. At the Senior National Championships, Jaismine and Arundhati won the national titles in 60kg and 66kg weight categories.
They will now be part of the evaluation process for selection in the Indian team for the Olympic qualifiers in Italy from February 29. Indian women boxers have won four Olympic quotas in Hangzhou and only two slots remain to be grabbed.
