This is fantastic news! But I feel bad for Jiya and Khushi who lost close bouts. The Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan boxers are always tough. Still, 9 out of 14 reaching finals is a stellar achievement. The government's push for women's sports is finally showing results.

Really proud of these young champions! Tanvi and Bhumika winning by RSC shows the aggressive style our boxers are adopting. However, we need to work on our defense against the Central Asian boxers in the higher weight categories. Aashvi and Manvi losing by RSC or 0-5 is a concern. Still, great overall performance! 🎉

My daughter is in boxing training and this inspires her so much! Seeing girls from small towns in India beating international opponents gives hope. But I wish the media would cover these achievements as much as they cover cricket. These girls are representing India on the world stage at just 13-15 years of age!

Incredible! Nine finals is massive. But we need to be careful not to overhype. These are U-15 championships, and the real test will be at senior level. We've seen many junior champions fizzle out due to lack of proper training and support as they grow. Hope the federation ensures continuity in their development. 🤞

As an American living in India, I am consistently amazed at the depth of talent here. These young women are showing incredible skill and determination. The fact that they are defeating boxers from traditionally strong boxing nations like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan says a lot about Indian coaching. Well done!
