Going abroad for the first time to play and hoist the tricolor was a dream, which has come true. I am happy that now other daughters of the district will also take inspiration to move forward in sports like weightlifting. “Deepali has already won medals in national and state level competitions. Weightlifter Abhishek Tiwari set a great example of his hard work by winning the gold medal in the 67 kg sub-junior weightlifting category. Abhishek Tiwari says that when the medal came around my neck, I remembered the hard work of my parents, Guruji and the entire district. Living in Nepal, the players there and the environment were all new, but we had pledged to keep the Indian flag high. Weightlifter Anurag Jangde Anurag Jangde, who won gold in sub-junior weightlifting in the 109 kg category at the age of just 14, caught everyone’s attention. Expressing his happiness over the achievement in the first foreign trip of his career, Anurag Jangde said, “I am very happy that I was able to win a gold medal for the country at such a young age. All this was possible because of my coach Suraj Sir, who selflessly prepared us day and night.” I cannot express in words the joy of waving the national flag abroad.
