KOLKATA: Linthoi Chanambam made the country proud last year when she beat Brazil's Bianca Reis to clinch the gold at World Cadet Judo Championship in Sarajevo, Bosnia, and became the first Indian to win a medal in the tournament across any age group.
But unlike the 57kg category in which the 16-year-old triumphed on the world stage, the Manipuri judoka will be kicking off her campaign in the 63kg event at National Cadet Championships that started in Bellary, Karnataka, on Thursday.
