New Delhi: India’s Commonwealth Games medallists barely had time to celebrate their success before shifting their focus to next month’s Asian Games as they returned to a rousing welcome in the national capital in the early hours of Tuesday.
Even as the athletes walked out of the airport to a rousing welcome, they spoke in one voice about the road ahead, saying there was little time to bask in their Glasgow success with the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya fast approaching.
“Hearing the national anthem on such a big stage is a feeling I will always cherish. But my focus has already shifted to the Asian Games, where I want to win another gold,” boxer Priya Ghanghas told PTI moments after walking out of the arrivals gate of the IGI Airport.
