New Delhi, Apr 29 (EFE).- The Indian boxing team is looking to make history at the Tokyo Olympics by winning at least one medal each in male and female categories under the guidance of its high-performance coach Santiago Nieva of Argentina.
“The goal is to obtain medals in both the men and women categories. So far, in the Indian history, there are only two medals. One in men in 2008 and one in women in 2012, which is Mary Kom who is set to take part in her second Olympic games,” Nieva told EFE from the training center in the northern Indian city of Patiala.
