India’s Commonwealth Games medallists barely had time to celebrate their success before shifting their focus to next month’s Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya as they returned to a rousing welcome in the national capital in the early hours of Tuesday.

“I trained for only three weeks before the Games after recovering from illness. Once I stepped into the ring, I forgot everything else and focused only on giving my best for India,” boxer Jaismine Lamboria, who won gold, said moments after walking out of the IGI airport.
