A new defensive technique added to her repertoire, Olympic bronze-medallist Sakshi Malik is confident that she would fetch her maiden Commonwealth Games gold medal when she takes the mat in Gold Coast next month.
The Rio bronze-winner has tweaked her leg defence on the insistence of her coach Kuldeep Singh Malik, something that has already got her a gold in the Commonwealth Championships in December last year.
Speaking to PTI, Sakshi, however, refused to go into the details of the new technique that she has worked on.
"I can't give the details of the techniques. But as I said, I'm looking for a gold medal and more confident now."
"Life has changed completely (post-Rio). There's more responsibility on me now -- to win more and more medals for India. I hope CWG is the beginning, ahead of the Asian Games in Indonesia later this year and Tokyo Olympics 2020."
