Proud moment for India! Seeing our U-17 girls dominate like this—12 medals confirmed and most wins by RSC—shows the hard work put in by the Boxing Federation and coaches. Only Ovi's close loss was a bit disappointing, but she'll learn. Well done, girls! 👏

Excellent performance by our young boxers! Laxmi's third-round RSC win over Mongolia and Navya's 5:0 whitewash of her Chinese opponent were standouts for me. The boys' category also has Narendra Kumar Nella doing well. Indian sports are on the rise, yaar! 💪

Great news! But I hope the Boxing Federation also focuses on the boxers who lost—like Ovi. Close bouts against host nations can be tough, but we need to analyze and improve. Otherwise, superb job by all these young champions. They are the pride of our nation! ✨

It's amazing to see so many RSC wins—truly shows the attacking mindset of these girls. Harnoor and Himanshi winning by first-round RSC against Chinese Taipei is just phenomenal. The depth in Indian boxing is incredible now. Can't wait to see them at the Olympics someday! 💥

I am a bit concerned about the competition level. How strong are the other Asian teams? But still, 12 medals is no small feat. Rakhi, Khushi, and Mamta—all performed brilliantly. Let's hope this momentum continues in the medal rounds. Keep punching, girls! 🥊
