Parul Chaudhary Delighted After Winning Two Medals at Asian Games, Eager To Return Home
And she is taking two medals. What would you like to say, is there any excitement?
I mean, it feels really good. Last time in Hangzhou, I took 2 medals, but this time the color is different; the color was something else last time. But otherwise, I'm happy with this performance because I knew the competition was going to be very tough this time. But it's good, I'm very happy.
The weather here has changed a bit; it's mostly raining, so this did affect your process a little.
I mean, I was training in the exact same weather here in Bangalore, so I didn't feel it was that different because Bangalore's weather is exactly like this.
And which of these medals would you like to dedicate? Would you like to say something?
Yes, absolutely. I will dedicate both of these medals to Abhinav Sawhney because it's because of him that I am here today. Also, our Athletics Federation of India has supported us a lot, TOPS has supported us a lot, SAI has supported us a lot, and SAI Bangalore has too. And then Dr. Kalyan Chowdhury and my family have also supported me a lot.
The competition was quite tough. This gives you motivation and it feels good that you'll have to practice even more going forward. This competition is quite tough, and after this, the Olympics are also coming up.
Yes, absolutely. I mean, whenever we compete, we get some experience out of it. So we got experience here too, and we will prepare well for the World Championships and the Olympics ahead.
How will you celebrate the medal, and please tell us that too.
Now I just want to go home and spend time with my family. And since you are taking a medal for your fellow countrymen, it feels really good.
