Indian boxers Jaismine Lamboria and Arundhati Choudhary share mental battles behind CWG gold
Commonwealth Games gold medallists Jaismine Lamboria and Arundhati Choudhary spoke about the mental battles behind their victories at the IAMGAME 2026 Conclave in Delhi. Jaismine, the women's 57kg champion and World No. 1, returned to training with only three weeks of preparation after a month-long illness. She said, "If you want to see your hand raised, give your 100 per cent in the ring."
World No. 2 Arundhati, who won gold in the women's 70kg category, competed with a 102-degree fever, a wrist injury and concerns over her mother's health. "You cannot win on aggression alone, mentally, you have to win first," she said. The boxers highlighted visualisation and sports psychology as key to their success. The conclave also awarded GoSports Foundation, PWR Indian Pickleball League and others.
