Olympic medal-winning wrestler Sakshi Malik does not endorse the Indian Olympic Association's call for a boycott of the 2022 Commonwealth Games but at the same time feels that dropping shooting from the event's roster is "wrong on the athletes."
"There are a lot of wrestlers coming up across all categories. I would say my experience helped me during the trials. Moreover, it takes time for the youngsters to make a place. But there is certainly a lot of potential."
"Mentally also you have to be very strong. No matter how physically strong you are, until your mind works properly, it is not possible to do well in any sports. And since it is a contact sport, it becomes even more important to be mentally alert."
