Once rated a medal prospect at the Tokyo Olympics, boxer Simranjit Kaur went through a low phase before arresting her slide.
A 2018 World championships bronze medallist and a two-time Asian championships medallist, Simranjit now looks back at the forgettable period — including a disappointing performance at the Olympics and two losses to up-and-coming Jaismine Lamboria in domestic events in the last one year — as a learning experience.
“When the Olympics was delayed owing to Covid, I thought it would be a good development. But, that was not to be. I was struck by Covid twice and my performance went down considerably,” said Simranjit, who is competing at the National Games here.
