Parveen Hooda Returns to Asian Games; India’s Weightlifters Aim for Medals
Boxer Parveen Hooda returns to the Asian Games aiming to reclaim a medal lost due to a 22-month suspension for whereabouts failures, which also cost her an Olympic quota. Since her comeback, she has changed weight categories and faced injuries, competing now in the 65kg class. Meanwhile, India's weightlifting team, buoyed by recent Commonwealth Games success including Mirabai Chanu's gold, seeks to improve its modest Asian Games record, with four women competing after a male lifter withdrew due to injury.
