Sanjeet, who is in Birmingham for his first ever Commonwealth Games, said on Monday that he is very excited to represent his country at the multi-sport event.
The Indian Boxing contingent, comprising 12 boxers, which includes four women and eight men, arrived here in Birmingham to compete in the Commonwealth Games in 2022. With the aim of winning medals for their country at the event, the pugilists wasted no time and started their practice sessions. For the past two weeks, the Indian boxers have been training in Belfast (the capital of Northern Ireland).
“My practice and preparations for the Commonwealth Games are going really well. We were in Belfast for the past two weeks and had some nice preparations there. Earlier, there used to be an issue of climate too. “I have gotten adjusted to the weather here,” Sanjeet told ANI.
“I am very excited to represent my country in the games.” Everyone is hoping that we get some medals. There is competition; it is always tough. I will give my 100 per cent, “he added.
Earlier on Monday, Indian boxer Ashish Kumar Chaudhary had also said that he would be compensating for his Olympics loss at the prestigious event in Birmingham.
“The Tokyo Olympics was my first major tournament in terms of games. The pressure was new to me, but now I have experience of how to handle these things, and I think this time I will be able to do better and give my best, “Ashish Kumar Chaudhary told ANI.
“I would like to fill the Olympic void over here at the Commonwealth Games and I hope as well that I will try my best to compensate for that by winning a gold medal,” he added. The Birmingham Commonwealth Games 2022 are being held from July 28 to August 8.
