Incredible achievement by the girls' contingent! But we need to work on the boys' performance - only 5 medals compared to girls' 12. Something's working well in women's boxing coaching. Kudos to the federation for this development. 👏

Excellent news from Tashkent! Our U-17 boxers have done us proud. The future of Indian boxing looks bright. Special mention to Lakshay Phogat for reaching the final despite the tough competition. With proper training facilities, we can dominate in the coming years. 💪

Proud moment for India! The girls especially showed their class. But I feel we need more exposure for our boxers - international competitions and better training camps. Many lost by close margins, so a little more preparation could turn silver into gold. 🙏

Impressive depth in the girls' categories! 2 golds and 6 silvers shows real consistency. The boys need to catch up though - only 1 silver medalist. Still, 17 medals overall is a solid performance from a young squad. Well done, India! 🇮🇳

Wonderful to see our young boxers bringing home medals! The girls dominated once again - our women's boxing program is clearly on the right track. But we must ask: why are the boys lagging? Need to invest more in junior boys' coaching and infrastructure. 🤔
