nitinsanker 179 Posted March 25, 2023 #31 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Yes for India grabbed two chances to win a world championship gold .... Nitu is a 2 times youth world champion so her gold was to some extent expected , and Saweety now has a gold to go with her silver and bronze ..... Other than Mary Kom who won golds with metronomic regularity we have rarely won gold so it was a real boost for Indian boxing strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it is because of that , she said in a live early this morning that she didn't choose her body or her look and she suffered in her childhood from people bullying her for her look , the Algerian Olympic Committe said that they will solve her problem medically as she's Algeria's biggest hope in Paris 2024 Edited March 25, 2023 by thepharoah phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said that she was born female and it was only conspiracy by 2 countries that she didn't name to prevent her from playing , let's wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
