This is amazing! But honestly, the boys need to step up their game. 2 gold vs 7 gold for girls is a huge gap. Still, 27 medals overall is fantastic. Great to see Indian boxing growing at the grassroots level. Kudos to all the coaches and support staff too!
Sabrina Adilkhanova didn't stand a chance against Hanshika Attri! RSC win in second round - that's dominance. And Sunaina finishing in the first round? Wow! These young boxers are showing real grit. Good to see India investing in sports at the school level.
Impressive results from India! The U-15 girls especially are setting a high standard. 7 gold out of 9 total golds is remarkable. Hope these young athletes get proper support and training to continue their growth. Well done to the entire team!
Yash Kumar and Mohd Yasser showing the boys know how to fight too! 3:2 victories - those are nail-biters. But we need to work on converting more finals into golds. Some silvers were close losses, so the potential is there. Abhi se hi aisa performance dikhana - future bright hai!
Tanvi forcing an ABD in the first round against Taiwan's boxer - that's some real aggression! And Bhumika with RSC win too. These girls are not just winning, they're winning dominantly. 27 medals total is a huge number for U-15 level. India's sports future looks promising. 🥊
