Excellent performance by the U-17 girls team! But I'm a bit concerned about the boys' category - only one name mentioned so far. We need to develop both genders equally. Still, congrats to all the medalists, especially Laxmi and Navya for those dominant wins.

Only setback was Ovi losing 2:3 to Uzbekistan - but that's still a very close match against the host nation. Overall, this is phenomenal performance. 12 medals from our young boxers shows the depth of talent we have. The future of Indian boxing looks very bright indeed.

As a former boxer myself, I can tell you that RSC wins at international level are no joke. These girls are clearly well-trained and mentally tough. Laxmi's third-round RSC against Mongolia after a long day of bouts shows true grit. Sports in India is finally getting the attention it deserves at grassroots level!

So proud of our girls! 12 medals confirmed already and hopefully more to come. Ishika and Harnoor especially impressed me with those early RSC wins. I wish more news channels would cover these achievements instead of just showing the same old headline news every day. These girls deserve the spotlight! 🥊✨
